Review
It is quite refreshing to finally be back. Reading Victoria Schwab. One of my most read author back in 2018. One of my favourite author as well.
I could see Schwab from reading this work. I could feel her in the writing; although, she felt more juvenile here than in her newer works. Given that this book was meant for a younger audience, I can completely understand. The story follows Lexi. A girl who was taught by her father, not the fragility of being a woman (of her time), but the versatility of being human. He also taught her to appreciate–people and nature–rather than fear. This gave her a broader perspective of the world.
The introduction of the secondary protagonist was curious; however, it was quite obvious where the story is heading. I’m not gonna lie, I got quite disappointed with the romantic aspect of the story. I would much prefer if it didn’t exist.
To sum, the book was highly entertaining, simple, straight-forward, and the writing was accessible. There plenty of sequences that wasn’t to my liking and I’d rather they be different. Other than that, I believe this is a fun tale to read.
