This was everything I like about Fantasy stories. It was strange, but not in a bad way. It was unfamiliar to me, but that kept me interested. The Magic System is unique and a big part of how the story unfolds.
The world building is my least favorite part... not because it wasn't consistent, but because I had a hard time visualizing it. Some of the environmental elements just didn't come together in my mind, but it was really a minor criticism.
The characters are vivid and distinct. The pace was good, and the length was perfect.
This book would be good for anyone who likes magic-based fantasy with strong female characters, engaging storytelling, and quests that start and complete in the same book.The Narration of the audiobook is very good too.
This is a Fantasy, not a Romantasy. And while it isn't YA, it could be enjoyed by a younger audience as well.
