I definitely read this very quickly and enjoyed it! But there was so much explaining still going on even 50 pages from the end that I think could've been woven in better or put at the beginning, even though I know some fantasy books probably want to shy away from the info dumping at the beginning. Instead we got info dumping throughout and still had to pause when it happened and knew it was info dumping. Also the chapters were very long?? 

Besides those structural things I did enjoy it. El was very funny and I liked her character growth, and I'm interested in reading the others.
