Writing: at points there was an over use of certain adjectives, the writing for action scenes were also poorly written, body language was poorly described
Plot: overuse of certain plot devices, poor organization of key scenes damaging impact of most important points in the story
Characters: not fully developed, growth and movties unconvincing
Overall, I liked it, but wouldn't recommend to anyone else.

It was an interesting story and one that I’m glad I stuck with! It was entertaining and unique but I didn’t love it as much as I expected to. Will definitely check out more from Henderson as I do still want to read Year of the Witching!
