This book was so well crafted! It was an amazing read. The world was beautiful and the characters had so much to them. The plot kept me guessing throughout. 

I did find it a little slow to begin with but it didn't take long to pick up the pace and draw me in.

I really enjoyed this book, the characters were likeable and the plot was good. I didn't see any of the plot twists and was kept on the edge of my seat. I can't wait for the next book in this trilogy.

This was… a challenging read for me. I really only liked the last 150 pages or so but by the end I didn’t want it to be over. The way the author wrapped things up left so much up in the air for a possible book two and I just… ugh. For something that was so tough for me to get through I do wanna know what happens. The cause of the murders genuinely surprised me, as did a few other things, which was nice but too much of it wasn’t amazing for it to be a higher star rating.
