It is an enjoyable read, but its like meh. It had good potential but it seemed incomplete, like something is missing. Such a short book, so many blank spaces. 
 The characters were alright. The plot was alright. There weren t any twists or shocks or angst or heartache so its like an alright book. Yes, it is a good read to pass time but its not super engrossing or a page turner. 
 Would I recommend this book? Hmm for people who are looking for a short good read. 
 Spoilers below 
 I feel like the ending was abrupt. So the king is gonna let them go? like what happens next? The journey throughout the book was meh. Nothing heart racing or scary. When they try to call the pixius it was not like WOW, you know what I mean? I dont know how to say. its just meh. I thought they ll confront the king. I thought there ll be a rebellion to overthrow the king. But hmm, kinda refreshing that it didnt go that direction because its been done before. BUT THEN, theres also no turning point, no exciting thing going down.
