I couldn’t get into the story and I have so many other books on my TBR.

- There is so much going on in this book, but it really came together in the end! I was a little unsure in the beginning, but the story grew on me so much!
- I loved having the fae plus Midsummer Night's Dream happening almost concurrently throughout the story!
- The world building and magic system is so interesting, and I want to learn so much more about this! The combination of Orisha and fae with Shakespeare comes together so well!
- The narrations were excellent, and the accents helped me get immersed in the story.

It was too slow, the world building felt off and I was just uninterested in any of these characters. The best part were the fae interludes but I couldn't bring myself to care about Joan.

I think a few people will like this but it was not my cup of tea unfortunately🤷🏼♀️🙈

Unfortunately not my cup of tea nor am I the audience for this anyway. There were some parts that were pretty interesting so if you love to see young Black teens in theatre during Elizabethan times fighting fae, you might like this. The writing just didn’t connect me.
