Because I’m pretty new to the fantasy genre, it took me about halfway through the book to actually be interested in this story. It wasn’t until the magical elements were brought in that it sparked my interest. Some parts were a little cliche to me, and I wasn’t a huge fan of the romance subplot, but I know that SJM wrote this as a teenager, so I get why they were included. However, I did like the action parts, and I felt like the last quarter of the book redeemed it for me. I’ve heard so many great things about this series, and I look forward to reading the rest of the books. I can’t wait to see how the world building and characters develop!
P.S. sorry but I can’t stand the name Fleetfoot for the dog 😂
