I wanted to like it more than I did. The premise was intriguing, but I found the story to be a bit boring. For most of the book, the MC is wandering around on a secluded island. It’s cool for a while, but it became kind of repetitive. It was a quick read, though, which I love. I wish more books were 200-250 pages.

I think I’m so used to magical stories in which there’s some adventure, too, so I think my rating is based on that. I live for adventure stories, but that’s not really what this is. And, that’s ok. I think some people will love it.
