I feel like I've read this type of book before. Girl loses kingdom/family, girls wants them back, girl gets help from boys. With the typical love triangle majority of YA fantasy books I've read have. However I loved this, It still has its own twist on a plot I've seen before. Instead of the girl being weak Theo pretends to be weak to manipulate her way out of trouble and to freedom.
The writing flows pretty easily. In fact I think this is one of the quicker YA fantasy books for me. Once I started I didn't want to stop. I was captivated, I wanted to know where the story was going and how much of a love triangle this had. I think book two will have more, this was more hinting than a full on love triangle which I loved. I usually hate them but I'm interested to see where this one goes.
I'm excited to see the world building continue and the magic elements progress as its all just starting here, but leaving me wanting more already.
