This book was sent to me in exchange for an honest review.

The Chrysalis Key is the first book in Ektaa Bali’s new fantasy series, and it was a great start to the series.

I was so excited going into this book for many reasons, it’s a fantasy book set in Australia, it’s written by an Australian author, and the book is described as the breakfast club meets Harry Potter but darker, and you know I love a dark story!

The plot and story was creative and imaginative, with a great cast of characters throughout.
It was great swapping between all the different characters perspectives, it really gave each character a chance to shine and develop.

The story and plot were great but one issue I did have with the book was it felt like the story dragged and went on for too long. I love long books and character development, but for this story I felt like it could have been cut down a bit and it would still have been amazing.
