Review:
Myth: 3.5/5
I really did end up enjoying all the characters and story. I’ll absolutely read the next book in the series. I think overall it was just a little slow of a start for me. It didn’t really start to pick up until halfway through the book. To be totally fair, the slow, dreary start is a mirror of the main character, Anna’s development, so it was a fantastic device when you look back from the end.
Magic: 4/5
By the end of this book I loved the magic system and magical premise setup. It was beautifully done. The magical twists you didn’t see coming, and a lot left in the last few chapters about the witch and hunter communities.
Even in the beginning parts of this book, the glimpses into magic through the newly formed coven were some of the most exciting. And I was really into the juxtaposition between Anna’s rigid experience with the Binder sect and all of her other magical explorations.
Overall: 3.5/5
An intriguing story of young witches in London. Anna is just trying to do the best she can with decisions that are probably way too big for her and which she rarely has all the information. Don’t worry, as our heroine, she grows into critically thinking about what she’s been told and seeking out the truth even when she knows it will hurt.
