I'm unsure how much I need to LOVE a book for it to deserve 5 stars. I haven't read that many books in the last 10 years. But I truly LOVED this novel.
The setting is gorgeous, the characters are fleshed out and lovable, the prose might seem too embroidered for some people but I thought it was absolutely beautiful. The emotional beats were impeccable. The mystery kept me reading to find out more. The plot was dense with twists but it was also allowed time to breathe.
This was the author's first attempt at fantasy for adults, and it really did feel more emotionally mature. I could relate to it more than I can YA nowadays (I'm not 14 anymore, I'm 29).
5 stars.
