At first this started pretty slow which made it hard for me to get into this. But once the action started I was captivated. I wanted to know why this was happening. Who Mr Gold was.
I did wonder through out why Ben was remembering things from his past regarding Will but by the end I understood.
I'm a little confused at the ending as it's left open with so many questions, so I'm hoping we get more from this. Otherwise the ending being such a cliffhanger would be a little disappointing.

I went into this not knowing it was a prequel and I think that ruined it for me. I wish I had read The Gracekeepers first then I think this would of made more sense and I may of enjoyed it more.
I did like the writing style but as it went on I was lost and struggling to connect to any character.

This started off slow but soon picked up enough for me to be invested. However I am a little disappointed at the ending and how it felt kind of flat for me at times.

I ended up DNFing at 62%.
from the beginning I struggled to get into this. But I had hoped that would change. sadly it didn't.
I spent most of that 62% confused. Probably because I was struggling so I wasn't taking much in.
This wasn't what I expected
