This book [felt] predictable; however, I also found myself surprised by certain reveals. It's like I had this ominous feeling that something was supposed to happen with certain characters, but I didn't really know what. Yet, the reveals also weren't surprising.
This book had me gripped throughout the story; it really felt reminiscent of YA fantasies I read as a younger teen but can't connect with now. However, with that being said, I really enjoyed our FMC and her personality. It feels so found family.
The ending really threw me for a loop because I feel like it makes you reflect on the entire story like.... why didn't this show in her personality and choices? It really was a reveal you can't look for throughout the story, it's simply revealed to you, the reader.
Even with the 'lows' of this book, I found myself enthralled and would recommend to someone who wants a fun fantasy with elements that make you feel cozy and invested.
