I had mixed feelings about this book. One one hand, I loved it, the plot was strong and well thought out, however not the other hand, I feel I couldn’t fully connect with the characters and it really put me off while reading.
It was especially hard to connect with the main character, Poppy. Personally, she just didn’t feel relatable at all and there were times where I really couldn’t stand her.
One thing i loved about this book, though, was the world building. I’ve found that many authors struggle with this as they focus more on introducing the plot of their book, however To Bargain with Mortals had a beautifully developed world and a unique magic system.
Thank you to Netgalley and the author for letting me read this book as an ARC, all opinions are my own.
