A good start to a series. I knew going in that this is a “vibes” book which helped, and it’s a relatively fast read. Even so there’s a couple chapters I was confused by being included that seem to be extraneous. Overall a lot of short chapters which I like. 

This gave me definite call backs to The Whispering Dark which I feel like is a lesser known ya fantasy stand-alone that if you liked this you would probably love.

I look forward to continuing the series as I hear it gets better with each book.

I like a good YA novel but this was not my favorite. Plot feels so cobbled together with too many different magic/supernatural tropes forced to coexist. Couldn't follow the logic of it. And the plot twists were boringly predictable. Did not find the characters appealing either.
