3.5 rounded up. 

First. Thank you NetGalley & publisher for allowing me an arc in exchange for an honest review- all thoughts & opinions are my own! 


This was super fast paced and had an interesting plot, but I’m left with alot more questions than answers- I felt like we sort of jumped into the middle of a book, and I was a bit confused for the first 1/3rd - I’m still thinking the beginning shouldn’t have jumped as much as it did. It didn’t necessarily add to the suspense, only frustration.


The trials were cool, I want more of it and the background stories of those and the characters. 

Overall, I think it’s a solid first novel it seems!

- now, 

“the stormborn vine” was such a neat story. Fun, silly, lots of background and info and scenery- the side characters filled the story with beautiful plot building, the plants sound so neat, dragons! Death! Crime! I’m excited for the next!

Tea, cottage, food, gardening, romance- could it get more cozy? No- and I’m thankful for it! Loved this story, these characters, the nonbinary representation! Thank you NetGalley for allowing me an arc in exchange for an honest opinion/ review, all thoughts are my own!
