overall i enjoyed this book.

i did have some problems with the pacing, world building and romance as they just fell flat and weren’t as strong as other parts of the story unfortunately.

however the magical writing and  strong feminist messages (+ my love for wren <3) made me really like this book.

there are some very heavy topics and themes within the story which are portrayed in an honest way that doesn’t sugarcoat or romanticise it which shows the respect and care ngan puts towards her writing and audience. 

the last couple of chapters/pages were some of the best parts of the book + the cliffhanger at the end has convinced me to read the 2nd book (which i’ve heard improves and is even better). 

i look forward to reading the rest of the series :)
