This was not at all what I had anticipated going in. I loved it for that. It was dark and eriee, confusing and alluring. I really enjoyed the ups and downs and especially the toying with the narrator. Annaleigh was such a good character to follow here. My critiques are with a few unfinished storylines with the loss of the sisters -this book has so many deaths and only some are explained, the magic/god system that was incredibly convenient, and the villian telling their entire motive and story arc before dying. Overall is was a great, fun, twisty read.

It started strong. I had a hard time predicting what was going to happen, but in the end it was because things became a confused mess and not because of well founded twists and turns.

This was so good I feel like I have to re-read Roots & Ruin too so that I can keep uncovering all the little bits of secrets buried in here. Loved hearing more about the other sisters.

I liked the book overall, I just felt like the characters were a little flat. And more so with the connections between characters. I usually prefer more character building than this, but if you like to get right to the story, this would work for you! I found the ending to be predictable but I still enjoyed :)
