This was a quick and easy read, but I wish it had been more detailed. The world didn't really come alive in my head and the writing felt a little basic. I didn't really get a good sense of who the characters were and I'm not particularly attached to them. I do really like Fer's grandmother though. Some things also didn't make sense in my opinion - Fer didn't seem all that interested in her grandmother's work but all of a sudden she was a great healer. She was also absolutely miserable at school and her grandmother knew the reason but didn't seem to care about it at all? I feel like these are parts were the book could have benefitted from being a little longer. I did like the ending though and I am considering reading the other books since they're all under 300 pages anyway. I'm curious to see what adventures Fer gets up to in the future.
