This was a very enjoyable fantasy book, I loved the characters and the friendships. The whole premise is super interesting and I enjoyed the world building, though it was a bit slow. I would say this is a great introduction into adult fantasy as the magic and lore isn’t too overwhelming or confusing. There is a bit of instalove which isn’t my favorite trope. I am looking forward to the rest of this series! 

Thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group-Ballantine, Del Rey for granting me access to the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
