I got an extract of this book so I could read the first two chapters for an honest review. So this review will be about the extract only.

Honestly I really enjoyed this. And I would definitely buy this book in the future when it comes out if I'm not fortunate enough to reveive the arc.

The author's writing style is very comfortable to read. It flows well which makes if an interesting read right away.

The characters seem to be very well put together so far and I feel like the development will be interesting to consider in the full book.

Lastly the storyline seems to be solid. Meaning that it doesn't seem as much as your typical YA fantasy novel. I wouldn't be surprised if the readers of this book have some surprises in front of them.

Overal I really enjoyed this extract. Thanks to the author and Netgalley for giving it to me.

This was a great couple of chapters to get stuck into! The world building is immediate and engrossing - I’m looking forward to reading more. I wish I’d had this book as a YA, but it just means I can enjoy it as an adult!

I really enjoyed this. It was a great opening couple of chapters. Introduced the main character Maddie well and has me wanting to know more about her back story and what will happen throughout. The world building so far is superb and I cannot wait to see more of Havenfall. I loved Sara Hollands Everless duology and this is one of my most anticipated reads for 2020 and the first couple of chapters really dont disappoint. 4 stars as with it only being short I do not know how the plot will unfold. I do think this could be a five star read for next year though. Already have my copy preordered.

I found this excerpt well written and intriguing and have been tempted to order the book to I can carry on reading.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

This is the best-hooked YA novel I've read in a while. The worldbuilding is pervasive without being overwhelming, and interesting hints about details are seeded in. I was also caught by the protagonist's first person voice, which sounds authentically young, but also like someone who has grown up around another culture - in this case, the culture of another world. I would definitely read the entire thing if given the chance.

It is a good excerpt so far. The author has done an excellent job in creating a contemporary fantasy world that is very realistic! I can’t wait to read more!
