Loved this book. It took a few twists that I wasn't expecting. The way it started, I was expecting some kind of take on Beauty and the Beast, which I suppose was there in part, but this had so much more. 
 While the main is 17, which brings folks most to mind of a YA, this felt like it was for older audiences (older YA-Adult). 
 Adored the world, the enemies, the characters, the magic. I also really liked the end. 
 While there was a bit of romance, it wasn't of the all encompassing variety. Not angsty either.
