I'm pretty disappointed in this book because it was so slow. I'm okay with a slow book as long as the prose is great or the world building is great but this was about average to below average in both standards and had very little action.

The story follows Jovan who is the caretaker of Leaf who has unimaginable powers that people are trying to harness. They travel across country trying to escape which would have been a perfect time for worldbuilding but I didn't really get much.

However I did enjoy the uniqueness of this tale because it has a lot of Slavic lore that I've never read about. I did enjoy the character development of Jovan but I just wish I had more of Leaf.

I'll still be reading the sequel because the ending left me on a huge cliffhanger and I want to know more about Leaf. This is a debut so I'm certain it's only uphill from here.
