"From the get go I was hooked."

"...fast-paced fantasy filled with interesting world-building and characters whose' diversities balance out the group as a whole."

"This is actually one of the best debuts I've read in a long time."

"The plot is simple yet utterly magical- the characters start off strangers, but their development is really well spaced. The narration from the main character's perspective is also so engaging in its retrospectiveness. "
