★☆☆☆☆
Great plot, below average writing
Cayla Kluver gets away with sub-par writing because adult editors and publishers are so blown away by the fact that she's only a child. Her attention to detail is meticulous in some areas and completely lacking in others. Characters speak poetically, in flowery language reminiscent of olden times, but many think and behave in ways that are completely contrary to the culture in which they purportedly grew up. Her ideas are original and her story moves well, which makes a reader want to keep reading, but her sentence structure and descriptions could use a lot more work. All in all, a good read, but ultimately unsatisfying (NOBODY likes a cliffhanger) and slightly frustrating to have to plow through a detailed description of every single character's outfit. Several times.
