4.0

A thoroughly light and enjoyable read with genuinely funny, reflective moments. I loved dipping into the scenic day-to-day of Kirrinfief from Nina's perspective. The levity that comes after scary life changes is pictured beautifully through this story, and feels hopeful. I appreciated also the complexity of the first romance we encounter here - though I found the second romance boring, abrupt, and awkward. Though the ending was weak, there was enough here to provide entertainment, intrigue, and a satisfyingly relaxing read.
