Yet this book felt quite slow to me and as if nothing much happens. The time skips seemed to skip over important parts and it all seems quite "easy" as in the prota could always find a solution right away and there were many points when they could just TELL that someone was trustworthy, too often in my opinion. Furthermore I have not been able to really bond with the characters, their grief for example did not affect me.
You can tell that it is a debut and not up there with Samantha Shannon or V. E. Schwab but I am intrigued enough to read the next books.

It had some interesting concepts, I hope they ripen to a story which could sit amongst my favourites.

2. You know how sometimes you get annoyed when a character is made too special? Yeah, I want Davian to be <i>that</i> special. No, not conveniently special, like everything just works out for him, but I want him to have all the powers. I want him to be <i>that charcter</i>.
3. Truth be told, I didn't know what was happening most of the time, but I sure as hell had a good time and will definitely be reading the next book!
