EDIT: I'm changing my rating to 3 stars. I didn't hate it, but I don't think it's for me all that much. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I actually really enjoyed this, oh ma gosh. I actually didn’t think I’d like it, but I was so very wrong! I love the two main characters, I love the plot, and I love how the whole fantasy system works in this. The writing wasn’t what I’m used to, so it took a while for me to start speeding through it, but I finally got used to it and I just started speeding through this. I don’t wanna write a long review, so I’m just gonna say that it’s 5/5 stars and I’m so excited to keep going with the series!
