If I was a reader who prefers character driven stories or if I was a reader who prefers plot driven stories, this would probably have been a 3-star read. But since I am a vibe focused reader, it's 4 stars. This story is definitely all vibes and almost no plot. Well, there is a plot, but it's SOOO slow. I liked it, though, and I liked the characters, but both did not stand out much. The atmosphere, though, woah. It's very magical and mystical, with a big focus on nature and the elements. Also, the audiobook narrator had the thickest Scottish accent, so it felt like it was taking place there.
I also think, this book was way too long. So long. There was not enough plot or character development to warrant this many pages, tbh. But since I listened to it on audiobook, I just laid back, listened to it and enjoyed the setting and atmosphere.
