This was exactly what I wanted it to be, with a little more on top. Romantic, adventurous, magical, and not a difficult read. The characters are easy to like and yet complex enough that they don't feel too simple or TOO easy to like. 
 I only wish that perhaps the whole thing with the magic and the background of Artan and his family had been explored a little more because they just seemed sort of randomly added for convenience's sake. BUT perhaps there will eventually be a book or novella about Artan in the future? 
 My two favorite things about this book, were getting to know Irsa SO much better and getting to see her really develop as a character, and getting to see the girls be badasses.
