My first Fairyloot book! I was excited to read this, especially since I have other books by Danielle Jensen on my TBR. I did enjoy this book overall but there are some things that I hope change in the next book. 

I really liked the setting and world building, the magic system rooted in mythology was really cool and I enjoyed seeing that unfold. 

I want to hear more from each of these characters, I feel like there’s still enough secrets between everyone that I’m impatient to know what happens next. 

What I really want to see is Freya to take control over her own destiny. She doesn’t like being used but her own inner monologue talks frequently about being owned or managed by others. I want so badly to see her be her own person while learning to rely on others to support her, not just manage her. 

I’ll most likely pick up the second book when it releases but hopefully Freya grows a bit more in the next novel!
