I really enjoyed this book. The world building, the refreshing lack of heteronormative views on relationships and interesting character development. 
The mystery of who cursed her family had me hooked.
I would also have fallen for Inkar, had I been in Ekata’s shoes!

This book has very strange pacing. It was super fast (in a bad way) in  the beginning and then completely slowed down for the bulk of the book, and picked up near the end. I also don’t understand most of the characters motivations. Like the only person who makes sense in Aino. This book isn’t bad by any means and I did enjoy quite a bit of it. The plot was very interesting albeit the blurb was a bit misleading. I had fun with it, it’s just aggressively mediocre.
