4.0

I’d put off reading this book for SO LONG purely because it’s an absolute CHONK of a book. 
 
I loved it. I need the second book now. 
 
The writing style is quite simple, but I preferred that over the complex styles that you usually find in fantasy. The characters are well developed, even the background characters. Ayla is a bit chaotic but maybe that’s the intention? 
 
I know she’s meant to be the ‘villain’ but I loved Crier!! 
 
Lots of cliches: enemies to lovers, angry protagonist, evil villain, etc. But I’m loving them. I’m loving Ayla and Crier. 
 
Overall, a very enjoyable easy-to-read fantasy.
