WRAP UP, READATHON, AND GIVEAWAY WINNERS

i quite liked it was from guertin's point of view and i love the relationship between guertin and his master who is a woman i thought the dynamic between them was fantastic

i thought the magic was really interesting i thought that the setting was very vibrant and vivid i really liked the way the author did the setting and i feel like we always got enough of like the different cultures within the different islands that it felt well realized without taking a ton of page time and it was just a fun adventure that's how i felt about the first one the second one i felt similarly

she read karana feathers and i'm like i like crying feathers too

one that i've seen categorized as both middle grade and adult i personally felt it leaned a little middle grade it kind of is a mystery a murder mystery story and our main character is trying to use their magic to get to the bottom of it was very interesting but i don't i mean i'm a broken record at this point just a little young for me

i was really nervous that i wasn't gonna like the sequel as much because i loved the first one so much

i read it and it's my favorite thing i've read this year it's so good

ultimately it had some tropes in it that are just so familiar to me at this point there were a couple things the author did that i wasn't expecting which i liked but i think it's just it's a familiar story it's one that i feel like i've read before

this is the one where i cannot wait for the sequel this was so interesting it was so different from most everything else that i've read before

i thought the first hundred or so pages of this were amazing and then i don't love the training grinding leveling up for a large portion of the book so i didn't enjoy a lot of that
