    This book took a little while getting into and found myself a little lost to start with.

    The author gives you kind of like background stories with time jumps and charter chapters.

    It's a little confusing to start with, but once it gets going, it gets good.

    Emily Barr takes us on a journey with Senara, who I feel like I couldn't relate to. We learn things at the same time she does or kind of figure it just before she does. She feels a little two-dimensional, but eventually, we learn to love her.

    Overall, it was a good read with secrets and on every page. And that prologue completely drew me in.
