THIS IS HOW YOU WRITE A YA FANATSY THAT DOES NOT NEED YOUR TYPICAL AND CORNY CLICHES, YET STILL RETAIN THE CORE ASPECTS OF YOUNG ADULTS. Great execution of both plot and characters, it feet so long since I have read such a satisfying ya.
Also, East-Asian myths and folklores are so rich that the european/medieval settings feel kind of bland now :3
