Overall a satisfying read, but the plot meandered a lot and never felt like it found strong enough footing.
Didn’t dislike it, it’s a well enough crafted book, but it didn’t grab me the way I wanted it to. The characters didn’t feel as real or as well developed as I would expect from Kay and the plot was heavily reliant on magical seeming coincidences to the point that it felt heavy handed.
