Good story for a specific audience

The targeted audience for this book is younger teenagers that are new to fantasy that would enjoy female protagonists. If your a part of that I think you'll love this book. For me who is not a part of that audience I found the story a little generic and slow. I admittedly only made it through half of the book before calling it quits. the story was too run of the mill and I felt the characters were a little too perfect and didn't have any flaws. I wasn't connecting, or even knew what the character arcs were. For me it was hard to get through, that said my wife really enjoyed it (who read these types of books when she was young) and looks forward for the sequel.
