Main girls who are DOWN BAD have special place in my heart.

This should probably be 3.5 star read but I really enjoyed it and im feeling generous. I would say minus the constant doubting coming from our heroine(EVEN AT THE END, which I found kinda annoying) and some plot choices that felt out of place, everything else was quite fun to read. It didn't hinder my enjoyment at all. The ending could have been a little more impactul and not so lukewarm as well.

What I liked was our main girl who was a fun MESS. Down horrendously bad, kind, driven, and tenacious. She didn't need to be some badass with a sword or destructive magic powers to be a compelling character. Main guy was... There? What I wanted was more scenes with them bonding, trying to communicate and not him being like aight see ya later boo..
