I initially picked this up because of the cover art. I soon realized there were several Hungarian references and names in the book and was so pleasantly surprised! Unfortunately, I feel like this story was a bit too long and fragmented. I tried listening to the audio for the second half just to get through it and the Hungarian pronunciations really annoyed me. I wanted to love it but this just wasn’t for me.

I’m really sad that I didn’t love this as much as Juniper and Thorn. I felt like some parts really dragged on, and others zoomed by. Honestly, I loved Gáspár and Évike’s love story, and the development of Évike and Zsigmond’s relationship was like a gorgeous flower unfurling, lush and verdant. But I think the mythology is maybe a bit too complicated for the scope of a single book. (Now a series, on the other hand…..) This book feels like a winter night, frigid and chilly, lit by dreams of remembered warmth. I would give it a read, but I preferred Juniper and Thorn by far. A great first novel, but not Reid’s best.
