I received an eARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

3/3.5 stars.

This has some really beautiful world building moments in it, culturally rich with fantastical creatures thrown in.

However, the plot was a little all over the place. The best way I can try to put this into perspective is - you're watching one of your favourite shows, it's gearing up to something interesting, and then the adverts come on, so you run out of the room for a snack/toilet break ect but you were a minute or two too long taking that break and when you come back you've missed a section of what's happened and you have no idea how you've got to where you're at in the episode. That's what reading this book was like throughout. Now I'm not sure if this is just something that is due to it being an eARC and perhaps it will be tweaked and tightened for the final product but at times it caused the story flow to be very confusing.

The beginning felt quite rushed and then all of a sudden we had jumped into another world and things just kept speed jumping.

I really enjoyed the mythical creatures and the magic and I feel this story has so much potential but it got a little frustrating to read.
