adventurous medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

I reread this for my book club and the nostalgia was in full force.

Was it well-written? No. :(  Did I have fun? Yes. :) 

It’s got clunky exposition and checks off every YA fantasy trope, but it’s also got an interesting world & a story that kept me turning its pages decades later. 

CW: death, violence, blood, war, grief, murder, confinement, torture, slavery, fire, ableism, animal cruelty, animal death, trafficking, fatphobia, sexual assault (off-page)
