I liked this book. It was a fun fantasy book that held my attention. I enjoyed the story and loved Ash. He was my favorite character in the entire book. Not gonna lie, the main character got on my nerves sometimes and some of the things in this book gave me the ick. Like the fact that the villain's name is Machenia??? Like you couldn't have come up with a better, more original name? I enjoyed it though, the ending was pretty good, especially with the novella. I will be continuing the series.
