On first impression, the heroine had a childish demeanor through the way she expressed herself. I'm hoping for some character development of what the outside country awaits for her. A medium-paced novel it was, as the flow of the story is detailed and with its subtle remarks leads readers to easily predict what comes next. I'm enjoying this book more than I'd ever imagined. There were scenes that were unexpected or that the readers could anticipate, and it makes me so happy every time. The world-building within the novel is really enchanting. The main characters are honed well, even with the villains that make you root for them. This book definitely adds up to another reason why I love duologies so much.
