Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Reviewing this story is difficult for me, as it has all the elements of things I like. The usage and execution of those things, however, fell flat on its face. The pacing of this doesn’t seem to make much sense, and I tended to find it jarring. Things would happen quickly, in a blink and you miss it kind of way. Then, things would slow back down to a snail’s pace- or we would switch points of view.

I really wanted to like this story. It’s queer, it has witches, there is an evil society of power-hungry people. Yet, the writing really didn’t allow me to enjoy it to its fullest extent. There was nothing wrong per se with the book- but it felt like reading the second draft rather than an almost final edition. It could have done well with more fleshing out, and a little bit more aging up of the character interactions.

Blog review to be posted at a later date.
