This book started extremely slow and was hard to get in to but it picked up towards the middle. It switched between 3 POVs and sometimes that got confusing. Also I had to look up some words and it would have been nice to have a little glossary in the back but I know that is asking a lot. I did enjoy the 2nd half of this book and would recommend it to a strong reader because I did struggle a bit. I would also recommend it to anybody that has an interest in folklore which I do. Also the end of the book kind of made me mad but oh well.
