I received this free from the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This took me months to read, it really wasn't for me.

I was attracted by the cover, the summary and because I heard a lot about it before it came out (it's been a while, I know).

Honestly, the concept was very good: the historical setting, the mythology, the plot, almost everything came together for an excellent book.

The main problem I had with my reading was therefore entirely to do with the writing and the characters. I'd been told it was going to be an adult book, but to me it sounded more like YA or even middle grade. Overall, it was very immature, especially the dialogue and the main character. This clearly prevented me from enjoying my reading.

Nevertheless, I think it's a book that a younger audience will enjoy.
