I enjoyed this story a lot. The story was fun to watch unravel even when I thought I was guessing the twists and turns. This book still managed to surprise me at parts. I loved the mythology and the heart of this story. Jolie is a great main character and I love her relationship with those around her. She doesn't always do what's right, but she is very loyal and caring even in times of turmoil and I loved that. I didn't love this book though. There were parts that didn't always feel earned and I felt the ending happened too quickly in a way. 

Thank you Netgalley for access to an advance readers copy of this book.
