4.5/5!
Seriously. I was not feeling it at all in the beginning. At least the first 40% of the book was a slog for me. But then when it picked up, it REALLY picked up. From that point I was dialed in and there for all of it. And right to the end too. Looking back, it's not really fair to complain about the beginning though. It was necessary build up for characters and the way it all tied up throughout the mid to the end it all paid off. The premise, the story, the significance and twists. It was a great fantasy adventure that lingers in your head long after you're done.

This book was just lovely. A really great story that was at times challenging. But I really liked it
As most have said, this book has a pretty slow start. With that, I found myself interested throughout the entire thing. I felt the magic flowed smoothly and didn’t take me out of the story and I constantly wanted to know what’s happening next. I love a good magic adventure once in a while!!
3.5 rounded up | I wish this was a bit quicker in the beginning but other than that, solid historical magical realism type book

Not my favorite of Harrow’s novels. The MC was pretty annoyingly passive, which I guess is explained at the end. There was a lot of telling, not showing. I would have maybe enjoyed a different storytelling device then the author chose to convey information.

I really enjoyed this book. I felt the writing style was really descriptive and immersive. The beginning part was a bit slow until January starts exploring again... but overall I really enjoyed it.
