I really enjoyed this book. The plot was fun, the world was intriguing, and the characters were generally enjoyable. 

Some things in the plot popped out of nowhere but given some of the influences/inspirations for this book being folklore that feels very on-brand and reasonable. I had a hard time with some of the character's interactions/dialogue sounding very childish, very mature, or just very out of character at times and in ways that didn't make sense to me. I don't know that those moments were written that way to force the plot along or anything, I think they just were from a slight lack of consistency in the framing of certain characters. 

SPOILER-ISH PARAGRAPH:

For instance, the main protagonist was very uncertain about herself and her role/desires overall. But there was a one-off line where she says "I'd fall in love with me too, if I was around me" even though she has shown time and again a lack of appreciation or confidence in herself.

I will definitely be reading the next book though and I hope some of these inconsistencies are addressed.
