This was a very interesting listen! Reeves crafts a complex world where things aren’t always as they seem. The novel gives CS Lewis Chronicles of Narnia vibes with many twists and turns but also kind of a cozy fantasy feel. 

Jemma with the help of Edgar navigate complicated tasks through so many lands. As a reader, you are transported into a place where memories are held in so many different ways while being key to the Erigena’s prophecy. 

Reeves crafts an interesting magical system with numerous types of shifter characters, talking animals, and even an epic quest to gather information to save the realm. 

Give this book a read or listen if you like intricate world building, unique magical systems, found family, and epic quests.
