5.0

i loved this book from start to finish. the main character is fascinating in the way she navigates her world and forms relationships; the descriptions of her magic are so beautiful. the emotional core of this story is a bit hard to find at first, but by the end, i was entirely enveloped in the plight of every side of the conflict. it drove me to tears. the fairy tale elements of this story are also very well done. the ending was beautifully bittersweet.
