fullmetal alchemist-esque. author has really interesting idea but perhaps the execution wasnt really up to my expectations. everything was amazing up to the point where she was named the scarlet witch. everything kinda goes downhill from there

RATING: 2 stars

Nope, nope. It was fine at first but got too convoluted even for fantasy standards. The pearl monsters were the last straw. So, yea, I'm done with this series.

This book was deeply unsettling. And vividly gruesome. But oddly good?

… I am rattled but will read the next one.

The author does a great job at making the main character very much a teenager, with the strengths and flaws that come with that. It makes her hard to like as an adult reader, though. And the ending was rough.
