I received an Arc copy of this book for a voluntary and honest review.

So this book wasn’t my cup of tea. Quite a few grammatical errors. It was on and off for the characters for me. I wasn’t a fan of the MC. I felt like for who she is she comes off as weaker then I would imagine. And she doesn’t show interest in becoming stronger for the most part. It’s how it came off to me. And after the banquet scene I felt like it all just fell down the drain. I felt like there was so much that could have been done with specific characters and I don’t really understand the need for what had happened. War had already been declared so I don’t get how it moved the plot.
I felt like the story was too all over the place. But the premise behind the book wasn’t bad. I feel like it could have been really good if certain things had been pushed to the second book, or maybe hinted at but not a 20 percent reading chunk of the book.

The book gave off The Wizard of Oz and Narnia vibes. Surprisingly there was a little bit of spice.
