I've been in a YA Fantasy reading streak lately and this was a strong addition to the list.
It was a fun read overall and the narrator was amazing on the audiobook. The pacing is fast, with flashbacks and reveals of past events to help build context and understanding of motives.
I did feel that some of the twists seemed a bit forced at the end.Also a death that just seemed to be very sudden and did not really add to the story.
I also would categorize the romance as a side plot.
The style of storytelling still worked for me and despite some flaws I would recommend this book.
