Loving this. I love how our FMC has no idea what’s going on, though to us readers we can kinda guess. But also because she doesn’t know the larger workings at play, we don’t, leaving us still guessing. And the Dragon is very tight lipped, and snarky, so that’s adds to the fun unreliable narrator bit.

Ok I’m done! The climax was a little meh, idk if it was too much exposition or too many elements going on (there was the tower battle then the wood battle then the wood mindscape battle then the final real world climax conclusion) and it was all just too close and fast, but the ending chapter & message? LOVE and had me very satisfied

Ok we’re back, LOVE to see our girl and pissy Howl back together again, and loved how she was missing him earlier on. Forget to mention I was kicking my feet in excitement when they kissed the first time, didn’t realize this had romance. I also love how Kasia is standing on BUSINESS to protect her people. I don’t want it to end:(

Ok it’s slowed down a little now that our main girl (sorry can remember how to spell her name) is in the capitol, but I’m glad to see the wider world. Like this girl is way over her head, and is kindof bumbling around and almost letting people walk over her, but it entirely realistic for a small town girl and she takes action when it’s really needed.

The Dragon is ridiculous and it’s great. He’s like a PMSing Howl. That’s how I see him in my minds eye, loves pretty things and is petty when things don’t go his way. Whiny little magpie. But I do really like how I recognize elements from different fables and tropes in this, it’s familiar but fresh.
