A good YA Fantasy with feminist aspects
I'm kind of in the Middle of the road with this one. I did really enjoy it and I came to love a lot of the characters even though I didn't like anyone but Simon and Remy at first. Maybe the more I read the harder it is to impress me but I feel that I've already seen everything this book has to offer. Many times. And better. There were a few original aspects though. One of them being the main characters being an antihero and a likable villain. She flipped the script with Eliana and Rielle and though I didn't like it at first I really did come to appreciate the originality of it. It also shows that heroes and villains aren't always black and white. There are gray areas. The world-building was very full and done pretty well but like I said I've seen it all before. And though the two timelines are over a thousand years apart there seem to be no advancements in technology or anything. Life is the same. i do have to say I loved the feminist aspects of the story though. Overall it's a decent YA Fantasy and I'm interested to see where it goes because I've come to like the characters. I would recommend it to anyone that loves YA Fantasy.
