General Description: Lark has 3 goals- keep her power to control fear a secret, not get caught by her father who is constantly searching for her, and get to the mythical city of Cagmar. Luckily, she does get to Cagmar, the city of the trollis, pretty quick but it's not like she expected. Humans and Trollis warred for years, so the trollis are wary of humans. However, with Lark's power, the trollis council decide she's more useful to them to keep the monsters away from Cagmar than casting Lark out. Can Lark find true peace in Cagmar?

All the good:
- I felt like the use of trolls was something I personally haven't read before and it kept me engaged the whole time.
- The world was so well thought out and I wanted to live in it forever.
- I really liked Lark's journey with getting into the trollis society and getting such a deep dive into her backstory.
- I need like 4 spinoffs because of how much I loved the side characters in this story.

The loss of a star:
- First half star off would be the extremely slow beginning. I read the first 20 pages in like 
- Second half star off would be the fact of how it ends. I understand it's a standalone, but it's such a unique world with characters you love and it's hard when the ending seems so open and there's no change of a sequel in sight! I would definitely up my rating a half star if a sequel is announced.

Overall: If you want a new fantasy world to delve into surrounding trolls, this is your chance to try something new. Just be aware, it is still just one book, even if it should be a duology :)
