_pauline's review against another edition

3.75

it’s difficult to rate this because there‘s a lot of setting-the-scene for the series & you don’t get any answers in this first book; the pacing was slow at the beginning & then it ended kind of suddenly in the middle of things? but I liked it & think I‘ll enjoy the sequel(s) more
