Probably more of a 3.5 stars.

I very much enjoyed this! I did find it was a bit trope-y and it took me a little to really get into it, but about 50-60 pages in I was hooked!

The magic so far sounds like an interesting take on elemental systems. Magic systems are always my favorite things in pretty much any media, so I'm definitely excited to read further and see how it's expanded upon.

My main complaint with this book would probably be Vhalla? She acts a bit more helpless than necessary in my opinion, though I feel from the tone towards the end of the book that in the next installments there will be a shift in her and that will change. I liked Vhalla and honestly I saw a bit of myself in her, but I was just frustrated a bit at some of her actions/choices.

Excited to pick up Fire Falling!
