*A Thank you to BookSirens for allowing me to read this book. This is my honest and unbiased review*

 

Hello Fellow Readers,

I really wanted to like this book (seems to be what I keep saying lately) but I had a hard time following along with the story. For me, this was because I felt there was way too many characters to keep track of. I kept getting them confused with each other. This made me feel a little lost, which is a shame as feathers is a good writer. The plot would have been much more interesting for me if I didn't feel so disconnected.

Overall, great writing but too many characters to keep track of.
