I am rounding up this book to a 2.5. Honestly the beginning of this book was really confusing for me. I didn't fully get the beginning of the story. I don't usually read short novellas, but for Sarah Penner I would and this one was a little bit disappointing. I am excited to read her next book coming out. I think it's called "The Almafi Curse." I do love how short Novellas are because they are easier to finish and don't take long to get through. I just couldn't wrap my head around this story to fully understand it. This was confusing until about halfway through, then I kind of started to understand the story. This was an okay book. I would give it a shot if you like this author because your opinion on this book could be different than mine. Happy Reading!!!!!!!
