First things first. I really liked the cover. It really gives off this fairy tale type of visual. I'd also like to include the Slavic myth premise, which was really intriguing and interesting. I've been wanting to read novels that feature Slavic Myth for a while now.
In the story, I would say it has so much potential, especially the slavic myth of a concept. It was something I really liked and was greatly anticipating. However, I felt that it wasn't captivating enough for me. I wasn't really that hooked on its storytelling. I also thought that it was way too dragging for my taste.
The characters may be fun, but I really didn't feel the connection between them in a romantic way? It was more of like budding friendship. No romantic chemistry. I did prefer the going on warming to each other in a friendship way?
The ending felt like there could have been more, so I'm thinking the author might give a sequel.
Overall, this was a pretty intriguing read, still. I think this could have been better.
Thank you, author, for the e-arc opportunity via Netgalley.
