this book was just meh for me. it felt like a very standard YA fantasy novel, while also feeling pretty rushed due to being a standalone novel. the world building was interesting but i felt like there wasn’t enough of it, i didn’t feel like there was enough time to spend with the characters to get to know them, and were thus kept fairly one dimensional, and in the end i couldn’t get invested in the story enough to stay i enjoyed it. the romance also felt forced at times, though i was rooting for those two in the end, and the ending for them was endearing and sweet. the most ok read of the year for me.
