this was magical and well done, the world building was great and interesting in an original way. i wasn't expecting this to be a good book at the start but it wasn't that bad. i think the characters were okay and good except for ferrick, he literally was my favorite character in the entire book and i don't understand why amora was so mean to him. still the reason i give it 4 stars it's because the ending felt rushed and was predictable.
