DAMN I was not expecting that! I thought this was going to be a pretty typical YA fantasy, and in a lot of ways it is. But it’s executed in such a way that while the setup and plot and characters are all familiar, it still felt fresh and unique and kept me turning pages faster than I could blink. In terms of the technical aspects of this book, all the plot devices and character development etc., it’s probably closer to a 4 star read. But I had to give it that extra star just purely for enjoyment, I seriously couldn’t put this down
