Snore fest like I actually fell asleep while reading this. I really loved the beginning but as a story progress, it just got more and more dense. The fantasy elements weren’t enough to actually make it fantasy. It was basically just stay in a forest and there really wasn’t anything else going on. 

The premise was great but the execution was horrible. Answers were given freely without any kind of mystery or thought. And the descriptions drug on and on. 

I felt like this was supposed to be some kind of cozy fantasy that was trying to be an epic fantasy and it just didn’t work. 

I also think that if it would have been cut down to say 250 pages it could have been a lot better. It could have been tightened up and more engaging.
