Trigger warnings: Animal death, childhood loss of parents, a brief scene of implied intention of sexual assault.
Fantasy is a genre that I generally enjoy, but that also often gives me pause unless it falls into more of a "young adult" category because sometimes I find it goes far too in depth and I lose interest after a few chapters. That was definitely not the case here. The story was relatively basic, but interesting and fun enough that I really got lost in it and became invested in the characters and the worldbuilding. The emotional aspect of it was highly multi-dimensional and I definitely got much more than I expected out of the story. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.
