The characters were dull and the plot was not that innovative. I was probably disappointed because I expected something like Bird Box again....more

Some reviewers are saying that there was too much info dump, but I dare to say that it was just the right amount for the book and the characters to feel realistic. Did I get all the info? Probably not, but I still loved the book. I loved Dawn as a flawed character and while some might agree or disagree with her choices, that's what I loved about her- how real she felt.
The only thing that felt a little odd was the big twist on the end, where I found some inconsistencies. I will definitely try more of her recent work since I loved this and Mad Honey ...more

At a first glance, this is a thriller, but it is so much more. I love how it deals with difficult complex topics and also kept my attention with the twists. I would definitely recommend this. The story is rich, thought provoking and the character interesting and dynamic. I also liked the ending and how at fist I thought I knew how its going to end, then I wasn't sure and the ending was somewhere in the middle of all this....more

I liked the folklore, myths and the wonderful set of characters. I actually wished Tati's and Sorrows stories were more developed, or that we got a prequel book about Sorrow and what has happened to him. I loved the plot, but was not much a fan of Jena and her love interest. I will read the second book as well and will try some of her other works.
I would recommend this book if you like comfy fantasy, magic, and a slower pace of a story ...more

I expected for some reason a thriller (didn't read the synopsis), but I liked it in general as a fiction book as well. I thought it was okay written, the characters interesting, but I can not say its going to stay with me for too long because it wasn't anything special in the end....more

Holly is a great character and I hope we get to see more from her. Loved the ending when you did not know until the very last few pages what could happen and the premise of the book is intriguing.
I liked it! A nice, not too spooky read for this season. Haunted house and Alice in wonderland vibe, I liked the mythology and ending a lot. I wished I liked it!

I wished it was longer to do more world building because this has great fantasy potential. I recommend both this and the audiobook, perfect for this week....more

I thought finally something new from C.Clare. Then I realised after 200 pages we are going nowhere, the characthers are dull and two dimensional, and the worldbuilding is almost non existent. I might pick up book two because it has potential, but so far I am disappointed....more
