I really loved this! It was really soft and wholesome.

I saw a lot of people saying they thought Selah was whiny and like she really wasn't?? She was a bit naive and sheltered and this was her first time exploring the world. She grows a lot through out the book and is a stronger, more reliable narrator by the end. She learns to follow her instincts and to fight back.

I loved both of the love interests.

The world building was neat. It was basically a world where colonialism took place but didn't stick and England never became a world super power. There were a ton of interesting bits. It pulled a lot from different fairytalws and stories, based on what territory they were in.

I'm excited for the sequel!
