I’ll start with the positives, because I have no doubt lots of people will love this novel! I thought the cover was stunning, and I loved the audio narration - the voices were perfect for the story. The writing is also truly beautiful, and I enjoyed the love story and haunting feel of the story.

Having said that, if it hadn’t been for worrying about my rating on here I would’ve DNF’d this very quickly - I just found it very dull and wasn’t at all engaged with the story or characters sadly. But the writing shows so much promise so I’d definitely try another book by the author given that this was a debut (and I am still sure I’ll be in the minority for not enjoying it!).

I tried to listen to it several time but the narrator isn't for me.
I don't want to rate it badly just because of it so I'll try to read it physically later.
Thank you netgalley for the copy !
