I found this to be quirky funny I think the humor in this one was pretty good and I found the quest type of story with this like when they went on the quest to like find who The Earl was I thought that was fun as well

Disliked

I definitely think this was better than the second book overall just because of you know things were exciting things were happening again and so I did like this one more but I just wasn't fully convinced I think a lot of the things that were happening were still very tropy feel like as the book goes on it gets more and more copycat unfortunately

Mixed

when I was reading Shadow and Bone I enjoyed the first half of Shadow and Bone but I feel like the way things wrapped up and just like the pacing of everything from the middle to the end of the first book was not great it was not very strong

Mixed

the first 30% of this book was really good but I think after that point it started feeling like nothing was happening like things were happening but they weren't progressing the plot it was just like scary things happening to be scary so that kind of lost me

Disliked

I did like this one more than I liked the Christmas tree farm which I read around Christmas so there's that but as cute as these books are and as much as I would like to collect all of these just cuz they're so adorable on your bookshelf I just don't I don't love these

Disliked

I just didn't really Vibe with the writing this one I think I really disliked Sam as a character I wanted to love her but I just think the way she went about things was very over the top kind of like really rude and condescending

Liked

I thought the first book which is the trial of the sun Queen I thought that one was fine I thought it was fun I did have a lot of fun reading it I didn't think it was like overly unique in terms of like the character tropes and the relationship tropes and the plot points and even the world
