The MC sort of made this book a little hard to get through. The whole angsty, pessimistic teen thing is kinda overdone, but I get why it's like that. I just wish it wasn't soooo emphasized. I loved the major arcane being utilized for story telling and story progression and I liked the slow introduction of Eleanors background/trauma. Her self medicating struck me as odd and I just felt like the story overall wasn't explored as much as it could have been. Overall, it was an easy read with a positive ending (which honestly was refreshing for me after recent books I've finished).
