What a weird book. I actually got a really pretty edition from Sweetgrass and was determined to read the whole series but the whole in this book I felt like I was missing something. I kind of think that was the purpose of this first book though because we're just meeting everyone, learning about this world, and starting a mystery that's supposed to span all throughout this series. So, I really did give this one the benefit of the doubt and had high hopes for the book but for me, it just didn't get much better and I ended up DNF'ing the second book. But I'm really conflicted with this DNF so I might circle back to it eventually.
