While the premise was intriguing and I loved her other books, this one was hard to get into. 
 The beginning was okay, especially with the whole Clementine being dug out of the cellar by Fisher and her exploring the world, but after that it became sort of, dare I say, boring? And not to mention complicated. There was all this talk about craft and fiends, and the like so it was hard getting into that and understanding it since it seemed like there was something missing, a prequel novella explaining things and their world, but as I kept reading I slowly got the hang of it and became engrossed in the story. 
 I liked that this was different from the usual books I read, it was unique in the idea and the execution. At first it seemed to drag on a little bit, but then when things started happening in the hollow, it's all hell broke loose. I actually found myself not wanting to put the book down because I wanted to know what was going to happen to Clementine and Fisher and Shiny. I really wanted to know why Clementine was left in that cellar for close to 10 years and what kind of craft she had. Also, the importance of Fisher and how he was connected to her. The reckoning and the coalition was the aspect sort of made me shy away from some of the chapters when they were mentioned. To me it seemed like they were some sort of with hunters straight out of Arthur Miller's The Crucible with a mix of religious aspects but it wasn't the case- they just wanted to get rid of the "evil" so they can live a peaceful happy life but things aren't what they seem. 
 Apart from all of that, the romance was cute and to the point, but a little bit cheesy in the sense that they seemed to have fallen in love with each other really quickly. It was nice to see a girl take the initiative and make the first move tho, 
 All in all it was a good book and I look forward to future books this author writes in the future.
