Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I feel like this had so much potential, but ultimately felt short. The moral heart of the story was very simple and wasn’t explored with any sort of nuance, it was very black and white. Poppy was such a weak main character, despite her power and her role in the community and I found that I didn’t care whether or not she achieved her goal. The world building was mediocre. It wasn’t super heavy in regards to setting so there wasn’t info dumping, but there were so many places that could've been explored more and I finished feeling unsatisfied with the world building, magic system and character arcs.
