for never reading fantasy I loved this one so much! I loved the plot , characters , and all of the lessons learned along the way. It was adventurous enough that gave me Hunger Games vibes , the spice and romance was just enough , and I enjoyed the mystery element it had as well. I love how the author thread her journey with anxiety disorders through the main character of this book. If you are like me and really never gravitate towards fantasy this is a good one to read that won’t make you feel completely thrown into a different genre. This is one of those books that took me out of my comfort zone but I’m so glad I read it!
