First off, I love the cover art!! It is genuinely so beautiful and well-drawn. Whoever the artist is is straight-up amazing and deserves so much credit for their fantastic job. I really enjoyed this book and I really liked how it combined fantasy and magic. Before this book, I had never read anything by Ms. Holly Race and it seems like I have been missing out. This book was wonderful and so beautifully written. The story was well told, and it was just overall very gripping. I really liked the main character and all of the characters, to be honest. They were well written and it was very easy to like them. I am very very excited to read another of Race's books. She is amazing. To anyone who asks I would recommend this book. Although, I feel like younger teen/preteen audiences would prefer the book over older ones. It is still very enjoyable. A solid 4/5.
