I started reading this last June. All I can say is that it wasn't interesting at all. It bored me. When I read the hundred pages or should I say when I forced myself to read the hundred pages I can't stop rolling my eyes.

The writing style wasn't just for me. For me it's sucks. I wasn't hooked and the charater's are somehow stupid? I just give up, sorry not sorry. I didn't finish it all.

It had a very slow start BUT the ending and leading up to it was very good.

It would’ve been higher if not for the slow start and also how much history there was that I could not follow for the LIFE OF ME. The other thing was I didn’t care for Rielle’s POV like really at all. I didn’t like her ship or just her as a character. She pissed me off.

I liked Eliana. In the beginning she was annoying but she got a little better and I’m eager to read the next one.

There was a minor twist or two but one of them was already suspected so.

4 stars i think. solid fantasy book. sort of drags in the middle and i found myself conflicted about some characters but it ties itself together nicely and had me interested in the 2nd half

The switching back-and-forth from times was a little hard to follow personally, but it was so interesting to learn the history and information before the main character did so that you could piece the puzzle together yourself.

This story was amazing and I can’t wait to see how the other ones develop.

Claire Legrand is quickly becoming someone whose work I want to devour. I read an ARC of Sawkill Girls and was impressed by the depth of the characterizations, the emotional complexities of those characters, and the thrilling level of storytelling. So when a copy of this book came back into my branch (and wasn't on hold!), I grabbed it to see if I'd love it just as much.

I did.

I think Rielle is admirable and scary in her appetites. Eliana is fierce and so wounded but she always keeps fighting. Rielle makes me cringe a bit but I love Eliana so much. I think I'd pick up a sword and swear fealty to her too. She's seems at the beginning of something regrettable but also deeply admirable. I just can't wait to read more about her.

Anyway, it was a spectacular read and I will be doing my usual rec to any patron that will indulge my ravings.
