I got a e-ARC from NetGalley
Intriguing, I really like the premise but the execution was a little choppy. Chapter one pulls you in but after that the pace is slow.
There were definitely some choices that didn’t make sense to me and attempts to be mysterious were just frustrating. The ending was not as satisfying as I wanted but I assume loose ends will be addressed in a sequel. Overall an ok fantasy that I probably will check out any sequel to see where it goes. The premise has so much potential.
