Had I already reached my reading goal this year, I would’ve put this book away because it bored me so much. The plot was basically your generic YA fantasy storyline. The romance between the two MCs felt kind of forced, just being friends would’ve felt more natural. Most reveals and twists weren’t that surprising. And whenever the two MCs encountered a hindrance, for example as they travel through the jungle, it feels like they overcome those way too quickly. Complicated emotions because of their parents that they carried with them for years? Talk about it once and it’ll be alright. The only thing I liked was the lore, even though I couldn’t enjoy it as much as I wished since I had so many problems with this book.
