I really enjoyed this book! I typically don't read first person POV but Axie Oh has definitely changed my opinion on that aspect. The way that she told this story made me think of a watercolor painting - the language and prose is so pretty and paints such an amazing picture. I could envision how everything looked with ease.

Mina's journey in the Spirit Realm was filled with twists and turns. I never would have guessed what happened - though I did call one part that I had a hunch on (no spoilers here!) The characters were so likeable and the dialogue hilarious at some points - I loved their interactions with one another. Definitely a must read if you like what I would say is a more wholesome fantasy novel.
