I wasn't expecting to love this book as much as I did! I was worried when I first started because Alina felt very much like the typical peasant-girl-realizes-she's-magic-and-saves-the-world situation but it was pulled off very well.

(same for that love triangle in the middle)

Fun with lots of twists and turns. Highly recommend!
