Notes: I was kind of disappointed with this book - it fell flat and didn't reach my expectations. I wasn't a big fan of main or side characters, I had to look them up because I forgot their names, the only character I liked was Alaster/ the malefactor :D, the chapters from his perspective made me laugh out loud and he is the reason I'm going to be reading the sequel, I liked the animal companion of Nell, plot was nothing special and I had hoped for it to be more atmospheric, its not bad though its just that I had higher expectations because of Nevermoor and its brilliance.
