Ahh! This was so good. I adored the main character and I love the world and how fleshed out it is. I’m a little tired of magical schools but this does it so differently that I never got bored once.
Galadriel is a GREAT main character. Her growth in this is so well done. I really enjoyed the side characters, too.
Novik’s writing is also a shining part of this book. For whatever reason I didn’t enjoy either Spinning Silver or Uprooted as much as everyone else, so I was pleasantly surprised at how much I loved her prose here.
If you like magical schools or competitions like the hunger games, definitely check this out!!
