I LIKED THIS!

I honestly had no idea what I would think of this one and I consider it a solid young adult read. It leans towards the younger-middle YA range (not bad, just an observance) and I adored the audio production.
The unique core of the plot with the changeling identity really sold me on picking it up. There’s some standard fantasy tropes woven throughout but the characters (especially the main) brought everything up a notch. I liked the world building and magic system with all of the fae elements too. A good ragtag bunch where you’re never quite sure who to trust will keep the pages moving.
Rather than romance, this book focuses on the strong bond of sisters. And with alllll of it’s ups and downs (which is flat out RELATABLE). I liked that they argued, I liked that they disagreed, it all made for a realistic relationship that I loved reading about. Character growth is ever present and I look forward to seeing more of that in the next book.
Overall audience notes:
- YA Fantasy
- Language: none
- Romance: kiss/light flirting
- Violence: medium
- Content: autism rep, kidnapping, physical and magical violence, possession
