I loved the world building and drama that occured. The magic aspects were very pleasing to read for me. I loved the drama and exclusivity of the wealth and the commentary on the parallels of this fictional world and our real world. The family dynamics and relationships was written in such a stellar way. Also the found family in this was epic. I loved the relationships between Quell and the other people she meets on her journey. The ending definitely to me seems to like up to a possible next book in this world and it that happens I would automatically buy it. While this was my first experience with this author, I loved every minute of it. The twists at the end shocked me and had me ranted to my very confused family and people around me in the airport. Overall, I loved the world and how Quell was a strong female badass character who while falling out of love soon after falling in love, the breakup didn't damage her journey and mission.
