“ ‘You are a feast,’ he told her, ‘and I, my sweet, am ravenous—’ “
➡️ linear timeline
👥 POV: multiple POV
🐌 Pace: slow
💭 The story follows a number of characters
What I liked:
- Witches and the system controlling them
- Tormalin and Vintage’s banter
- If you wish there were a scientific examination of a fantasy setting this is the book for you
What I wasn’t a fan of
- The pacing is numbingly slow
I really struggled to get into this book. To the point I had to transition to the audio to get through most of it. The book didn’t pick up until 75% in and personally that felt like it was too late in the story to be finally capturing a readers attention.

I don't know what this book was trying to be. Fantasy? Steampunk? Sci-fi? It really was very messy. Nothing worked for me, and the book is not cohesive. Maybe it's me?
