i have missed good fantasy ya so much T-T this book was such a rare treat and i loved it. the environment was intriguing and very well written, the main character had believable motives and thoughts, and the romance was actually a subplot and not a major plot point! THIS IS HOW FANTASY SHOULD BE IMO the romance was there and it was cute but it did not take over the story and was able to develop naturally.
ALSO THE TWISTS??? IN THIS BOOKK????? my jaw was dropped on the floor, and i wanted to yank the second one of the shelf right away.
overall- very good ya fantasy! vv solid.
