HOW I WANTED TO LOVE THIS BOOK. I love the cover and the synopsis is magical and I couldn’t wait to get to it. Sadly, it was so boring.
I really liked the three main characters: Mair, Arthur, and Rhun. They’re all in love with each other and the dynamic of their relationship would have been enough for me if it would have been crafted in a different way. The three of them barely have interactions and I wanted to see why they were drawn to each other. Instead it seemed like I was just supposed to know. There are a lot of other characters — well, just a lot of names, really — but we don’t get to know much about any of them.
Plot wise it was slow slow slow. The world building was non-existent, if there was magic, I didn’t see it, and everything moved so slow. The exciting part of the forest is literally a time jump and the constant flashbacks were not satisfying at all. OH AND HAVE I MENTIONED IT WAS SLOW?
Overall, it was an amazing concept with a wonderful ending {because you know I read the last chapter}, I just couldn’t get into the execution.
**Huge thanks to Margaret K. McElderry Books for providing the arc free of charge**

"The best way I can explain how I’m feeling is indifferently captivated. Does that even make sense?"

Couldn't have said it better myself. Exactly how I feel about this book, to a tee.
