* ***** NetGalley Review *

'I really enjoyed the imaginative magic system and setting. It’s very mystical and mysterious!' 

* Luminous Libro Blog *

'I really enjoyed the worldbuilding in this book. I enjoyed exploring this place just as much as Tom did. There were secrets and twists to discover around every corner. I enjoyed the mysteries as well. I think the best part of the book was the relationships forged between the characters. I also thought the addition of the dialects spoken by the characters lent a great authenticity to the characters ... Great read for fantasy and mystery fans!'
