This is a YA Fantasy book about magic weapons, sisterly love, and overcoming social anxiety without changing who you are as a person.
As someone who suffers from social anxiety myself, Ziva's emotional reaction to groups of people resonated with me, especially as she tried to push through it to spend time with her sister. The bond between the two sisters is beautiful and I appreciated how the author gave them the ability to disagree and fight without damaging their underlying love and respect.
The dynamic between Ziva's sister and their traveling companion had me cracking up and I loved the ways in which Ziva's sister pushed her to grow while not forcing her to go beyond her boundries.
The relationship between Ziva and her love interest felt a bit insta-love to me and I would have liked to see Ziva's feeling grow out of more experiences together rather than straight attraction.
Overall great book!
