4.25 ⭐“To the child in each of us, yearning to be special. Take my hand, you strange little creature, and together we shall walk beyond the wall.”The opening line made so much sense by the end. This first book is a warm, sad story of a young girl manipulated through love into a tool of power. Made to believe she was vital to the kingdom. Everything shifts when her best friends, her only family, disappear.She embarks on a journey to find them and starts to question everything that has been told to her, everything she has always believed in, questioned herself and who she is.“It’s hard to see who I am when I am lost in what’s expected of me.” “When you do the right thing for the wrong reason, no one praises you. When you do the wrong thing for the right reason, everyone does, even though what is right and wrong depends entirely on the story you’re living in. And no one says they need recognition or praise or love, but we all hunger for it. We all want to be special.” Through it all, she discovers the true meaning of family, love, and what it really feels like to be loved.Yet, this story would not be the same without its standout character - the Gargoyle. Witty, clever, and unexpectedly poetic in his own way.“To tell a story is in some part to tell a lie, isn’t it?”“The tor was the only home I ever knew. But I have stepped down from its height and seen the world with my own eyes. You can’t take something like that back. Even if I returned to the cathedral, nothing can be as it was.”The Gargoyle made me laugh and cry at the same time.The plot is simple and predictable but still enjoyable, a bit different from romantasy on the market - while the romance plays a role, the real focus stays firmly on the FMC's self-discovery and personal growth.
