I felt like there was too much happening too soon in the first 2 chapters and the prelude of the book, there were a lot of characters introduced in a short space of time and I struggled to remember who everybody was and how they were connected. In addition to this the beginning seemed busy, I had to keep flitting back to confirm my comprehension.

I didn't relate to the FMC, whilst, I understand she is young, she appeared quite immature for her age, despite wanting to go on a rather mature adventure.

I felt like too much and not enough was happening at the same time.

There are a few things that I really appreciated from the book though as well:

Firstly, I LOVE a map. And I really liked the guide that accompanied this, I felt it was very unique and I wish I saw this more often.

The blurb is intriguing, making the reader want to read more 

The cover is just beautiful.

I really liked the Zelda quest style vibes I was getting from the story.
