3,75 stars.

This book was such a fun adventure. It really reminded me of Snow White and the huntsman at times. A fun colourful cast of characters and you feel connected to them all. Some LGBTQ representment as well and it was done well.

The downside, some things were very predictable due to the story being very recognizable to other tales. The book has a lot of POV's like a lot and it was a bit disorienting at times. Some of the characters, one, in particular, was just such a meh bland character and was just given a storyline to add conflict, so that was not fun.

If you love fantastical magical new worlds then you will love this new YA fantasy world.

I am excited about reading book 2 because there has to be a sequel.

I received a free ARC copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, my opinions are my own.
