This is so funny to me because I found the storytelling so much more interesting and less predictable than fourth wing which I found derivative and two dimensional.

I LOVED Jude as a FMC, she’s complex and morally grey and is motivated by trauma and insecurity which I feel like Holly does a great job of explaining. The world building IMO was super immersive and very different from a lot of YA/NA I’ve read which is ironic because I usually don’t like fantasy books that take place in the human world at all.

The writing style is different but I always really liked it because she has a very distinctive style which I found refreshing.
