“Petrichor.
Ginny repeated the word over and over.
Scent of rain on dry earth, said Cress, and he slipped his stout.
It won’t go away, she said.
Soon it will, my love, he said.”

I’m honestly torn between whether I enjoyed this book or not. There were parts that really pulled you in, and you could get lost in the narrative. BUT, the writing style kept bring me back to reality…the author didn’t use quotation marks and rarely punctuated the text. It all just flowed in an endless drivel. It took away from the parts of the story that could’ve been something magical as I kept skimming through nonsense.
