I did love Dani, I found her character so easy to relate to, her fear of being in love and her rationalising every moment. I also loved how real and open Zaf was, and their dynamic had me smiling at their wit and flirty banter. However I felt the third act conflict was a little rushed and didn't flow that well, and also I don't really like public gestures of affection. Overall loved this and the sisters!

One of the first ya books that portrays teens talking about mature issues like relationships and navigating through them. Their discussions have a lot of depth which I think some authors don’t show because they think teenagers might not be interested in it, when they are. I especially like how the MC is with her crush, I think it was very relatable and very real. Just like the rest of the book!

First ever adult fantasy book and it did not disappoint. The worldbuilding was expansive and immaculate, each place described so differently and lyrically. The characters also seemed carved to life, each so different; I liked how they didn't and don't become an instant found family, but you can tell something binds them all together, apart from saving the world. My particular faves were Andry and Corayne, although Dom was a despairing favourite. There were so many scenes that had me furiously turning the pages with a bated breath, and also laughing out loud at times. One of my favourite reading experiences of the year.

It’s way too long for so little plot to be happening, and the racist comments are not a plus as well
