In the end, I really liked this book. However, for the first ~190 pages I was wondering *why* I was supposed to care about the MC's journey. I found her implied love interest so unlikable, that I nearly DNF'd.
That being said, the MC grew. The revelation about one character near the end of the book (iykyk) kind of didn't make sense to me. It's unclear how they maintained that secret while surrounded by so many people. However, there's a chance I missed a few details that could've been foreshadowing due to how long it took me to get through the first 200 pages.
Overall, worth the read and I look forward to the second book and what it will bring. I really hope the main character continues to grow, as I really like the direction she's headed in.
