The best part is when Vhalla

gets pushed off the roof/window

. I know that's supposed to be terrible, but I hadn't expected it so it kept my interest. I was like no he didn't! Of course, the explanation for that was utterly laughable.

The majority of what followed after that event was just routine YA fantasy story tropes. Vhalla's pretty basic overall, but the writing in this story is very easy to digest. I was surprised at how much I read in one sitting. There are some side-eye worthy moments (the roof controversy, how Vhalla wishes everyone was light-skinned including her (but she's already pale so...), how Vhalla wastes the magic council's time doing nothing, etc), but it is an okay read for the average reader.
