Violet Made of Thorns

A little young adult, but highly entertaining!

So this was a sort of villanesque but I don't wanna be a villain though I am sort of story. Her musings were fun, her decisions sort of dumb and the whole ride really entertaining. Our MC is super naive, and often times is pushed to decisions by reacting instead of thinking. Still, she was easy to root for. Our love interest on the other hand... I'm in the fence about. I don't like the trope I want you and it's your fault and Violet suffered a great deal due to his ping ponging and nonsense. Still, he sort of got his comeuppance? So I guess it depends on how the story continues.

The magic system is not really explained yet, the politics are rather murky and the players are not yet fully established. Still, I think it has some promise overall. The main character makes this story fun and engaging and I will continue the series to see where it all lands.
