adventurous dark emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.75

Only took off a quarter star because there was some weird nonsensical tense-switching. (At least in the audiobook)

The abuse Wren goes through really has ABA/abuse of an autistic person vibes, and she's autistic coded IMO even if it's not explicit.

Underwhelming, kinda all over the place and repetitive at the same time. 
Loved the transition Wren went through at the very end, liked the complexity of Oak and I do think they are cute together. Second book could maybe make for a compelling read since

we might see a standoff between Jude and Wren

but my hopes aren't high.

Plot twists and revelations were very predictable and the enemies farcically evil. Would most likely DNF if I weren't familiar with the world already.
