Review;

I loved this book so much and will defiantly be reading the sequel. The magic system was so cool and interesting I wish we had magic tea that would be so cool. This book gave me major Spin the dawn vibes and was to be honest very similar to other YA fantasy books but it still manages to be its own version. 

The story overall was ready good however I would have love to see more the magic tea. I honestly would love to have learn more about the magic rather than just having it there. In terms of the political side of the world I did get a bit lost I just felt it could have been developed more but we may get some more in book 2. I adored the characters they were just very lovable. 

I would recommend this book because it just a lovely diverse YA Fantasy that isn’t too complimented and can be enjoyed by all.
