3.5

Can’t decide between a 3.5 and a 4 but I really enjoyed it. There were some parts that mildly annoyed me though so I’m leaning more towards a 3.5. 

Amazing atmosphere. Loved the family. 

The romance was a bit cringe-y at times (but understandably so!! It was actually pretty cute) and it felt a little too fast? But I understand why the characters had that connection and I like them together. I also liked/appreciated the demi rep. 

I’m not sure how I feel about Sorina suddenly being so powerful at the end when she had to deal with the king. It felt quite sudden. I don’t understand how her illusions work tbh, sometimes it seems to be very hard for her to do but sometimes it feels too easy?? Loved the story regardless. It was a lot of fun.
