for a middle grade fantasy book, this one was pretty enjoyable, tho i’ve read better ones. there were some parts of the book that kinda threw me off like when the mc did something impossible for a kid to do!! but i still found it fun. i really wanted to give this a 4/5 but i just couldnt!! ngl it got kinda boring in the middle and i had to actually take a long break from this book. i think this book actually has a potential… if only the author did a better job at creating an atmosphere 🤔 also… WEAK character development
