◦ I've received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ◦

The way the story began has really swept me from my feet because I love very much stories that take us into a world ruled by creatures other than humans. The story grips you from the very beginning, from the way is being told to the story and the world they’re living in and what the world used to be once upon a time.

I’ve never read Goose Girl the original story so for me, this has been a very nice change in scenery when comes to stories. Each character was very well-written and each one of them has an amazing backstory that will make you get immersed into the story even more.

Brianna and Elyanna from the beginning show us how different they are as characters. Brianna is the lady – in – waiting for Elyanna and she is sweet and caring and wants to learn as much as possible. When Elyanna seems to have an affinity for cruelty against animals and also people. She doesn’t love learning at all and is mean and disrespectful to everyone around her.

Elyanna has been a character that I’ve not enjoyed at all and I am really curious about what the future will bring for her.

Brianna on the other hand is my fave character and I loved the fact I could just connect with her. I loved the fact the story also focuses on some mental issues like PTSD. Brianna went through a very traumatizing event when she was still very young and even now after years she has these flashbacks that hinder her activities or make her panic, but with patience and compassion, she is getting through them more easily now than before. I loved the fact we got to see her struggles and live them with her – appreciating more her development as a character. You can see her grow from day to day and is such a beautiful journey.

The story can also have some minor triggers in my opinion such as the loss of a family and the loss of an animal, these two stories for me weren’t triggering per se but they did make me feel some sort of emotions and feel the feelings the characters felt and also the mood around them.
I’ve definitely enjoyed this story fully, It sucked me in from the very few pages and left me with a very big curiosity on reading the next ones on the trilogy.
