Points for creativity and points for having cool characters!! I wanted to love this book, I really did. I really tried. But I was just laboring through it the whole time. It just dragged for me. I don’t know what it was— the lack of action? The writing style? I don’t know. I think I just don’t like it stuff happens TO the main character all the time rather than the main character making agentive decisions. I think the only reason I didn’t like this book that much was purely out of personal preference and not because there was something wrong with it structurally.

Captivating.

I love Kelly Barnhill and will probably read this book in the future, but right now it's too triggering.

It felt like I was reading an OC fanfiction but I didn't know of what. But I liked the characters and Ned and Aíne seemed happy.
