Goodreads review by Morgan

*Read at work for review for ROYAL* This book is pretty meh. I picked this up at my review group for work hoping I would get a middle grade combo of Tomb Raider and fantasy creatures dabbling in puzzles and escape room like situations. Instead, this book was overly tropey, full of clichés, and very in......more
