Well, it's done. Finally. I'm so tired. 2.5, maybe 3 stars.

This is not how sound works. It doesn't matter if your opponent is singing louder than you, your voice is still heard, implying that it should have absolutely no effect on your singing prowess if someone else is singing louder than you at the same time. If anything, this happening is a mark of your inability to focus on your song. Learn from Elsa and Anna.

Oh my God I would never have guessed Friend's secret identity. never, ever, ever, in spite of the fact he's the only other male character we ever meet who doesn't try to kill/kiss her, I would never have guessed.

In case you missed it, I was trying to be sarcastic. It's hard to do it just with words.

" My conscience jabbed at my heart. As much as I wished to reunite with my family, it felt wrong to leave. I couldn’t run away and abandon my friends."

Oh no not this nonsense again.

"I hadn’t thought about that when I threw the match into the hay."

You don't think about a lot of things.

"Carrick hadn’t betrayed us after all. How could I have doubted him?"

*rolls eyes* First of all, who's us?? You're the only one here.

"While I didn’t attempt it, I initiated my own form of rebellion, singing songs featuring strong heroines—a healer who saved a child despite it being illegal for a woman to practice medicine, a woman who dressed as a man to fight a war in her father’s place."

Mulan?

Now she remembers her family!?!?

This turned into a bad soap opera so fast.

Let me guess, despite everything, she's going to be chosen.

"A wave of nausea turned my stomach. I gagged. I’d thought all the baubles were contained to the Winter Woods. I shouldn’t have been so naïve."

I shouldn't have been so naive should have been the name of this book.

"Carrick walked over and stood in front of the counter. He kicked my exposed foot in warning, and I folded my body smaller and tighter. A muscle spasmed in my lower shin. I bit my tongue to keep from crying out. This was all Carrick’s fault."

No, this was your idea, and thus your fault.

"And with those words, I knew I could never give up on him. No one had ever needed me before."

What about your brother and sister in law?? Your nephew?? The people who depend on you behaving, which you have not been doing, to live?

love triangle....OOC characters....*sighs*

"We had no chance to be together. Our paths may have crossed for the moment, but we were meant to veer in opposite directions."

And now this is going on my oh-we-can-never-be-together shelf.

This girl will heal the whole world but she won't heal herself. I thought she was allowed to heal herself?? Wait, I'll check before this gets embarrassing.

Ok, so I just checked, and I misunderstood the sentence...she can't heal herself... Oh well, my fault then.
