What I Didn’t Like:
- I have a lot of unanswered questions about the guardians in general. Granted, this is the opening book of a series and more may be coming.
- A lot of the events feel sort of random and disjointed. It’s not always clear how or why we went from one to the next.
- Some places have extra details, things you don’t necessarily need that just slow the pace of the story. Other sections seem to speed through important information, like Isis’ training. This makes the pacing awkward.
What I Did Like:
- The opening chapter introduces Isis in a way that works and puts us in her side right away, which is great.
- Coop is an interesting character. He’s obviously hiding something that will probably become important in future books. That’s fun!
- This story barely scratched on the intriguing things about this world. That means we can have a lot of fun exploring it further in the next books. I always love that!
Who Should Read This One:
- Fans of urban fantasy who like strong big casts and slow release secrets.
