ava_books's review against another edition

I was  reading it for 8 months and I only got 45 pages in it was *that* slow and dense and there was so much writing on each page it kinda was hard to read bc of that and it was very intimidating and nothing was clear or understandable and all I basically got is this girl is being saved from one terrible place to go to a different terrible place that she will have to save and the magic system is extremely confusing.
