Trigger warnings:
I wanted to love this book and I truly did at the start. A gender-bent retelling of The Hunchback of Notre Dam started off gorgeously, with a main character that was her own but with some beautiful parallel scenes drawn from the original story. But, it ends up falling into a fairly typical fantasy YA that lost all the magic I enjoyed in the beginning.
