Average rating4
After a re-read a year later, I decided to bump my rating up to four stars. On my first read, I think I went in with the wrong expectations.
I usually read high fantasy where most characters are supernatural, so when I started this book, I thought some of the characters might be shifters, especially with mentions of dragons.
Sadly, that wasn't the case, but on my re-read, I realized that the book is actually very good. The characters, plot, pacing, and interactions between them all worked well together.
What irked me the most was the “I'm not like other girls” vibe from the FMC, but I understand that she's a 17-year-old, so it makes sense for her character. This only started to bother me toward the end, so it wasn't a big issue.
I'm definitely excited to continue the series, especially to see how the character dynamics evolve and if there will be more supernatural elements introduced.
