This might’ve taken me months to finish, but I swear, the problem was me not the book.
This books is the kind of YA light fantasy that I like - a magic system that’s distinct (although a bit loose with it’s limitations), characters that are intriguing and layered, and a plot that’s actually interesting. My only gripe with this book is the same with all my other YA fantasy complaints - the romance seems distracting.
