Favorite Thing: Is it Magic or is it Medicine? Rune is basically an herbalist lol
Least Favorite Thing: The ending felt rushed and confusing…
Dammit, I didn’t realize this was the first in a series (or duet maybe? because there’s only one more book), I was so excited for a nice standalone! And the thing is it totally read as a standalone, so I probably won’t bother with the sequel.
