I was definitely pulled in by the Waterstones special edition of this book, after seeing it all over bookstagram I wasn’t sure it was for me but the sprayed edges pulled me in!

By the end of the book I did enjoy it, I actually ended up listening to the audiobook for most of it because honestly, at times it was way to wordy and there was a lot of descriptive paragraphs for things that I didn’t feel needed it. This is definitely a personal preference, I assume if you read a lot of fantasy that need world building you’ll be used to this writing style but for me it was too much I wanted to know about the characters and their relationships as opposed to the room they were in!

As I said I did enjoy it by the end but I thought it could have been 100 pages shorter! It was a good one to read in October without it being spooky and I’ll probably pick up another book by the author in the future!
