I wanted to love this book, but it wasn’t what I thought it would be. I was hoping it would be Diviners-esque but it wasn’t.
I’m not really sure what this book was to be fair.
Nothing was really explained, the world wasn’t built well and I had no idea what was going on or why or what it meant.
Mae’s character changed dramatically over the course of the book, the majority of which was held over a day. She goes from sweet, to selfish, then evil, then cold and uncaring. In 24 hours.
The other characters were slightly confusing.
Sebastian was the only one I wanted to know more of and he was a bit part player.
Overall, this wasn’t really a great book. I’d pass.
