I read this book super quickly, I agree with other reviews that it would have benefited more from being longer, but I still really enjoyed it.
I especially loved the reckoners, the lore around them was entrancing and the monster/family relationship the humans have with them was a really interesting element of the story.
I liked the love story but felt there was too much time spent on that rather than on Cas coming to terms with her abduction and subsequent identity crisis.
