 I picked this book because I wanted to indulge in some fantasy adventure of a witch and this book filled that mark. As I started reading it I was very excited and the initial pages were quite interesting. I was swayed with the words. But as the story progressed it started to get boring for me. 

I had a lot of questions as we progressed in the story but seeing as it is a trilogy and this is the first part of that trilogy I was able to made myself understand that they will be answered in the next installments hopefully, so I let it go. 

My major disappointment came from the lack of world building. I wasn't able to picture the witch realm (it could be my lack of imagination but it is what it is). The plot was a bit predictable for me. I did like the MC she was very much an 18 year old girl. I like her chemistry witch Jake and I really loved the slow burn but there were these scenes that seemed too forced to me and it didn't have any impact as it should've been or as I expected. 
The climax was a disappointment to me. I hope it overcome all the shortcomings in the next volume. 

Oh and I had a hard time deciphering the usage of excuse me over usage of the word 'Zephyr'. I still can't get my head around as to how it was used in the sentences and what it meant. I'll be really grateful if anyone can help me with that.

I think my disappointment mostly came from being too excited to read it and having high expectations as I read the initial chapters.
