I was given this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. I was really hoping to enjoy this a lot more than I did. Ultimately, the world building and characters were not interesting to me. The writing is beautiful and if the story had been tighter I might have come away enjoying it more. But the truth is that I barely finished this book, even while I found myself liking the way the author put words on the page. It's been compared to a lot of my other favorite speculative witch books but almost all the ones to compares to are adult where as this is almost aggressively YA. Sadly a miss for me.
