This was my first book by Jacqueline Rohrbach. When I saw the synopsis and the beautiful cover, I knew I had to read this but I'm not sure exactly what happened while i was reading but it wasn't as good as i expected it to be and I had quite a hard time connecting with any of the characters.
Arnaka is more annoying than anything though I do understand rebelling against the ways of the druids and her mother. However, I did appreciate her growth through the book and she got better by the end. I definitely liked to read about Hannah's (Promise) past. I do have to say that even though the chapters were well titled and fitted with the content of each, I felt a little bit confused as to exactly when we were in the story. That's mostly a me thing though.
I did like the writing throughout the book. One thing I didn't like is how Mother was called that way all the time, even though the book is written in 3rd person... Again, a me thing.
I loved that this book wasn't centered on a straight white girl but rather a black bisexual woman. It is definitely a nice changing from everything else.
I definitely liked the idea of this magic system and I would most likely go back to this book one day to see if my enjoyement of it would improve but, at this time, I cannot rate it higher than this.
