3.0

I really liked the world building and atmosphere, but the plot and pacing were all over the place for me. The beginning was intriguing, I really enjoyed the part when our mc we’re in the spirit realm but i struggled towards the last 30% of the book the pacing was just all over the place and i was mostly bored.  

There was no need for a love triangle at all and one of the MMC was so irritating and childish.

Lastly I went into this book expecting an adult fantasy but it was very much a YA fantasy. This isn't inherently a bad thing, some of my favourite books are YA Fantasy but it’s  just not what I was expecting or wanting to read. 

Even knowing that this is only duology I’m unsure if I want to continue on with the story.
