🖤 For me personally it was a bit slow, I struggled a lot with the descriptive writing (which is very sad because it was beautiful). I needed more action in the middle part of the book as the start was very cool and captivating. 
🖤 Oh boy the ending was so good, it kind of makes up for the slow paced middle part of the book anyways. 
🖤 Definitely need book 2 right NOW! 

In the end, big congratulations to Madeline Te Whiu for an amazing debut start and I can't wait to see and read more from her in the future!
