This book was so fun and light and lovely. 

Now it- definitely isn’t perfect and the dialogue is a bit stilted at times but I consumed this book in two days and I let it’s joy infect me. I will 100% be reading the second book because I am so at peace reading these.

It’s easy to flow through, the magic system is simple and easy, and it’s broad enough that I can accept whatever happens without having to suspend my beliefs. 

Now, the middle to act 3 of this book did throw me for a loop and I wasn’t quite expecting the level of horrible that happened- but we made it though, it was fine. We managed. 

And ohohoho we had such a nice little romance build through here. Such a fun adventure and care and it ended with a nice little bow. She doesn't need a man but maybe this one will do. Lovely.
