I wanted to love this because the art is so, so gorgeous, but the writing and the world building just fell a little flat for me. We're dropped right in the middle of the action, which is normally fine for me, but I didn't feel like there were enough details in the rest of the story to fill in what was going on. I still felt quite confused by the end of the book.
It seems like this might be a series, though (maybe?), so perhaps we'll get more details later on. The concept was interesting, and I loved the magical elements woven throughout the text. The characters were also great! We just needed those world details to really put the reader on the same page.
