**Thankyou to the publisher for sending me an advanced copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review**
I was drawn in by the beautiful cover, I admit. Being an audiobook was even better.
The narrator did a wonderful job of bringing the story to life, and I commend her highly for it.
In terms of the book itself, I did feel sadly disappointed. The story didn't feel very original, and I didn't really like any of the characters.
That said, the sapphic element was a wonderful surprise, and the book was easy to breeze through. The best way to describe it would be Alice in Wonderland meets House of Hollow.
Overall, I wasn't a fan of this book, but am super grateful for the ARC all the same and hope this book finds its audience.
