I initially struggled to get into this book much like others, but my reasoning I think was a little bit different to others. I really struggled to resonate and enjoy the chapters with Motoki and Gil! I’m not sure why, maybe it’s not what I expected from the book? I don’t know.
HOWEVER the storyline of Louisa and Erin, I ATE UP! I absolutely love Louisa, and if I can just have a whole cozy book about her and her spirit seeking, interacting with spirits and following her as a character I would be other the moon! She is such an exciting and interesting character! Erin bothered me a lot at the end, but I can’t give away why without spoilers. She was a bit cliche in the end for me.
All in all, the world building was great, I did find it difficult at times to follow what was going on but that’s ok! That’s my problem, not the author. I’d recommend this for anyone who enjoys a magic based story, but bought into the real world.
