Tell Me How It Ends is a cozy, exciting, and heartfelt fantasy story about friendship, going out on your own, and discovering your own power. One of the things that really stuck with me about this book was Iris and Marin’s friendship. I loved that they immediately clicked, but that it took some time for Iris to really understand and trust Marin’s interest in being friends with her. I also really enjoyed that Iris just accepted Marin’s antics and behaviour even if sometimes it confused her or she wasn’t sure of the intention behind it.

I really liked that this was a story about found family and learning to trust the people around you and develop a level of care and desire to work together and help one another. Iris didn’t have to go along with Marin’s plot and the plan to try to save the prisoner in question, but she did, despite it being vastly different from what she expected of her life. It was nice to watch her grow and discover new things about herself over the course of the story.

I think that this was a great first book in a fantasy series and I can’t wait to see how the story and characters progress. I think for me the characters were a lot more gripping than the plot was. I really wanted to just watch how the friendships developed and how they got to know each other and got closer to each other. I can’t wait to see how this story continues as the series goes on. It was really nice to see a story that focused on building and strengthening friendships between the characters.
