This was so fun! Uses tropes and elements from many different stories, but sometimes you just need an escape / brain candy book and I immediately wanted to read the rest of the series after finishing this one. I can’t wait to see what happens next!!

I did not love these characters and couldn't get into the main character.  She spends most of the book cowering or going along with everything.  The end of the book is when things turn around.  I kept reading to see what would happen, and I got invested enough that I'll read the next book.

This book started so slow. I DNF the physical book twice before finally listening to the dramatized audio. The last 1/4 of the book got really good. Now I’m not sure if I want to get the physical copies of the rest of the series or just continue to listen.
