this deserved the five stars for the vibes alone. still, i’ll tell you why i loved it so much. first of all, it had a female main character that was actually likeable and somewhat relatable. also, all of the main characters were flawed, but it was presented in a way, that showed, that you don’t have to be perfect to be good and much less to be loved. the story itself was gripping and incredibly entertaining and with it being a standalone, there wasn’t the unnecessary amount of filler, that is often introduced in trilogies to stretch the plot. though it was a bit predictable at times - i.e. who the main villain was - the story didn’t get boring or cliched. (i wasn’t the biggest fan of the audiobook, simply because the voice actress was a bit over the top at times. still it was a comfortable listening experience.) last but not least, to me it had the same vibes as gallant by v.e. schwab, which didn’t grip me quite as much, but still had immaculate vibes. please don’t ask me what that means. maybe it helps though. overall, one of my favourite fantasy reads of the year.
