Overall, a pretty decent fantasy read. I originally picked this up because I enjoyed the concept of Powerless by Lauren Roberts, but wanted better writing. Imagine my surprise when it turns out so much of Powerless was inspired by Red Queen. Although the concept is great, the book felt a little bland. I enjoyed the writing but a lot of it felt very cliche and predictable— which I know is to be expected of older fantasy books so don’t hate me. I could sense the twists coming before they did and I wasn’t as connected to the characters as I think I should have been. Despite this, the book was pretty digestible and I love a good rebellion so I can only complain so much. Just not a top tier book considering how heavily saturated this genre is. I probably would have liked it more if I’d read it closer to when it came out, to be fair.

Interesting conceptually and high-paced, but felt too trope-ish to truly wow me.

Lots going on. Not a fan of the main character or many of the characters for that matter.
