Enjoyable and well written. I love YA historical, and I love Harvey's writing style. She has a dedication to just the right amount of interesting detail that both baffles and impresses me. My only qualm with the story was the attempt to weave too many threads all at once. There are too many PoVs, which is distracting in the beginning, but they do later merge, as the characters are more frequently together, so I didn't mind in the end. But I felt like too much was happening in this book, and it could've done without focusing on a few characters. The world of magic was so broad and strange that I'm not sure what I thought about it, although I'm biased--I'm not a fan of magic that alters human anatomy, so I thought Emma growing antlers was really silly.

All the same, a fantastic read. I'm looking forward to the next one!
