First, thank you to the author for the copy of the book.

I really wanted to love it. The premise sounded so magical and interesting that I couldn't wait to dig in. However, I kept finding myself so confused over what was happening and wasn't sure if it was me or if the story was just making me feel so lost. After chapter 8, I realized that I was lost. I was catching a lot of what was going on, but there is so much fluff in between that it wasn't flowing very well. Conversation between characters was stunted because there was so much inner monologue from Emma that I just didn't like. Also, some information would just pop out of nowhere and I would try to fit it in and just couldn't.

I wanted to love this book. I think with a solid edit that it would benefit greatly and I'd give it a go again if that occurs because the premise sounds so beautiful.
