Fierce, smart, and strong, but not without her insecurities, Serafina makes for a wonderfully human protagonist in a heart-pounding narrative chock full of magic in a place that can’t help but inspire wonder. Dark and beautiful and gruesome and twisty - Serafina’s story kept me on my toes (usually with an elevated heart rate).
“I’m a 23 year old woman and I thoroughly expected to find this book childish or immature.
