The villain immediately comes across like a cartoon caricature, and I can't take him seriously. Something tells me this isn't the intended interpretation...

The pacing and passage of time is downright bizarre, but I can’t tell if it will be an asset or a detriment at this point. So far, there was an initial surprising reveal, followed by one major plot point. Not much else of substance has transpired, and the slow pace and relative inaction is a bit jarring for a fantasy. Perhaps there’s some foreshadowing that I’m missing somewhere along the way…

This is one of the most erratically paced books I’ve ever read, and it feels like I have whiplash from all of the rapid accelerations followed by slamming on the brakes. But somehow, it works?!?

I'm shocked in all of the best ways about how quickly the found family theme has been established. Interestingly, it also feels a little reminiscent of the Twilight series, albeit better crafted and more whimsical.
