I love the writing, the lore, and the characters. Sometimes the world-building slowed the pace for me, but overall I was very engaged with this reading experience.

I really enjoyed this book. The authors writing is very descriptive, which I think is important for readers to feel more connected to the story. This is one of those books that will stay with you for a while.

This book is set in a place where humans transform into beasts. Throughout this book, we go on a journey with Jonah to uncover truths about this world, and his past. This is a story about loss, fear, and betrayal, but also resilience, and survival.

For the first few chapters of this book I struggled with grasping what was going on, but as I got further into the story, I understood this world better- and therefore enjoyed it a lot more! In my opinion the strongest part of this book was the incredible atmosphere the author created; the writing style was vivid, and descriptive, allowing for the reader to fully immerse into this world. The way emotions were portrayed in this book was outstanding.

If you like fantasy books that are character driven, and if you like going on an emotional journey, where the author doesn’t shy away from painful realities- loss, betrayal, and fear; I’d recommend!

Thank you NetGalley and Books go Social for this ARC, in exchange for my honest review.
