This is not great.
What it has to say about being a teenage girl and about death/grief is trivial at best. The romantic aspect reads like a very cliché romantasy one (power imbalance dynamic with a taller, older, brooding, patronizing love interest that makes our MC feels like she needs to deserve their attention). And I am seeing the big reveal come a miles away as to who Roslyn is going to have to kill... sigh
