Squire was a really fun read that sadly gets pulled down by its rushed, simple ending. The characters are really fun but a lot of them were really shallow and just kind of there, you can really tell the story centers around 3 characters and everyone else is here so they don't get lonely.
It's a good read that's perfect for younger people. If you're older though, don't expect something deep or very realistic.

I know this is a YA book, but I expected something better.
Also I really need to make a counter for the cliche of "main villain dying from environmental causes while fighting protagonist, hence absolving the protagonist of any responsibility". Has to be one of my favorite cliches.
