This book sounded so good and promising from the plot description, but somehow I just was never quite hooked and fully interested, the writing felt redundant and it became annoying when phrases were used over and over in rapid succession such as “the fox who is not a fox” like I got it the first time I don’t need that introduction for the entire book.
I am definitely being knit picky here but I think the writing just didn’t have what I was looking for even though it was very atmospheric at times which I greatly enjoy but then the repeated odd phrasings pulled me out of those vibes.
Plot was predicable and slow and definitely didn’t get the pacing right.
Thank you to the publisher for my ALC in exchange for my honest review. I will say I think I’m in the odds for not loving this one and it has potential so take my review with a grain of salt.

While I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange for a review, all opinions remain my own. Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape media for the opportunity to read this story.
The way this book started out, I never expected it to twist the way that it did but boy am I glad. It ended up being adventurous and magical and beautiful. I love how the author weaved in the element of anxiety, that even magical creatures can have it, that it affects them and they have to learn to live with it and manage it. Might have just been a small part, but as someone who deals with it on the daily, it was big for me. I loved the characters, the family. It all felt so very real to me. Even the magical part that is so very not real, felt as if it could have been, just lurking beyond our world. I love books like this, where we can set aside our perception of reality and pretend, even for just a little while, that magic might just really exist and how would that happen. This is just one of those possibilities.
