PROS:
• Amazing world building! I loved loved LOVED the world building! One of the most beautiful and vivid so far. I had no problem to picture in my head the written images. Just hands down. Loved it!
• Magonia vibes! As you may or may not know, Magonia series it’s one of my favorite ever! Like, it’s in my top 10! And this book, giving me Magonia vibes, it was like pure joy! And the vibes kept coming through all my reading!
• Perfect pacing. Not too slow and not too fast. At least for me, it had the perfect recipe for keeping me entertained through all the pages.
• Character development. You know those type of books where you barely can see the difference between characters, where you can’t recognize their voice?! Well, another good news. Here it’s not the case! I felt like, even if it wasn’t written who did or said something, I would have known in the next who it was!
• Short chapters! Do I really need to say again that I LOVE a book with short chapters?!
CONS:
• Insta love. Not really against it, but I feel like here it could’ve used a little more time to develop. Felt a little rushed.
OVERALL THOUGHTS:
• I can’t wait to read the second book! September, please come faster!
