4.5
what started as a “mc is not like other girls” quickly became a page turner (look at me, reading 530 pages in two days!); court intrigues and a fascinating magic system, teenage me would have devoured this book !
there’s little romance but I’m assuming it may follow in the sequels; it’s not exactly enemies to lovers but more like “mutual dislike” or indifference to lovers, probably, it’s a slow burn in any case (and we’re talking slow here)
in some parts it didn’t feel like YA novel while in others it certainly did (yay I’m being vague on purpose)
I very much enjoyed this book, I can’t wait to read the sequel(s)!
