I liked the beginning of the book when she was a little kid a lot more than when she was older and there were knights. That part was sort of confusing (I understood the wizards and other stuff)

I’m rounding up the rating bc it would’ve been five stars if I didn’t spoil myself, but  
I needed to know that mungo and David didn’t die
Beautiful book, I wish I could annotate it because the passages were beautiful, but I got it from the library. Ended up taking photos of certain pages to have them with me indefinitely. Will always think about this book.
