I had never heard of this until about 10 minutes before I started reading it so I wasn't sure what to expect but I'd seen good reviews so I had high hopes.
I ended up really enjoying it! The writing style is pretty simple but that makes sense for a young adult fantasy book. I really appreciated the focus on an older female main character and found all the characters to be pretty well rounded.
The world created is interesting and creative. I liked all the different communities beliefs shown to us and I hope we see more in further books as I want to continue this series!
