Meh. I don’t know why so many people like these kinds of books.
This was completely typical of the genre.
There is a heroine who is a nobody and not good at anything who is very naive and trying to save people.
There is a with it reluctant hero.
There are evil family members.
And wonderful found friends.
But it just feels so prescriptive. And I am over them.
This one was supposed to be really good. But I don’t see it as any different.

Lots of rape references, and after looking into it I learned there will be an on-page attempt. Not for me.

This book reminded me why I love YA fantasy. I simply could not put it down!
The world was written beautifully, interwoven with the plot rather than shoved right in our faces at the beginning. Laia's character development from the beginning to the end of the book was an absolute joy to witness. It's truly about the small steps.
The relationships in this one did feel underdeveloped and insta-lovey at times, especially Laia and Keenan. I just did not see a lot going on there. On the flip side, I wasn't convinced with Laia and Elias that much either.
I found Helene to be easily the most interesting and three dimensional character, I never truly felt like I knew what she would do next, and I have a feeling there is a lot in store for her character.
Elias was conflicting, and especially his relationship with Helene. There were moments where he was so firm on his feelings being purely platonic, but then there he was imagining kissing her. Giving very much boy. Slightly annoying.
Fast pace, kept me interested the whole way through, and the character/relationship flaws only make me want to read the rest of the books more to see how they will develop.
