I really enjoyed this lush fantasy world. I also really loved the political aspects of this novel. I also was super impressed with the complex characters we met and the discussion on beauty that was had throughout this novel. I really was liked the cast of characters but wish the sisters were featured in the novel a tad more. I also felt like the plot towards the end was a tad rushed and a tad confusing. I really did enjoy it but wish it was fleshed out a tad more. I really did enjoy how the villain was crafted and am excited for book 2!

I really did enjoy this read. I found it to be a perfect starting fantasy series, especially for readers coming over from middle grade. I thought some of structure issues could have been a little bit clearer like when some event happen at the start of the series. I also really did like the focus of friendships in this novel. I thought the book had a compelling plot and characters, but points of this book had massive information dumps that sometimes took me out of the story but I really did like the plot and the characters and would read more by this author in the future.

I really did enjoy the sequel book to this series. I really was enjoyed both the smaller mystery but also the larger mystery focused on Kaylene dad. I really did like all the friendship. dynamics that were developed. I will i am a sucker for blast from the past romance and I am likening the unlikely ship of A.J and Keylene. I thought the smaller mystery was super well crafted and hard to predict. I found the read to be super fast pace read. As the for the lead character she is def a antihero but she is growing on me and I really am excited to read more books in this series. I also would say if you like series like 13 reasons why and Veronica mars, this might be a good series to check out!

This book has so far been my total favorite. I am becoming so invested in these characters. I really did like how complex not only the characters are but also the plot. The world building is so complexed and such a fun engaging world. I loved the new groups of characters we focused on in this read. I also really liked how political this book got as well. I am loving the adult character group dynamics with the younger characters. This book was super fast read, and i am dying to read book 4 soon.

The mystery elements that this book had really did keep me reading. I had some issues with the main character at the start of the book but she did grow on me throughout the read. This was a super charing read and def a fast read.

This was by far my favorite read of this series. I really enjoyed how this book focused on a small amount off characters and they all really grew on me. I also really enjoyed the new setting we learned about in this book. I also liked how a smaller characters from on of the older novella plays a super important role.
