How could you have such a good story and no reviews until now ? Just wanted to give a heads up for any new interested parties. It’s been almost a year I’ve had a novel make me binge until the middle of the night.
Well I am tired, but the summary of the review is: I like the style, I like the characters and I like your depth. The world building is also on point !
Thanks a lot for writing and keep doing what you doing ;)

I binged this in a day… on accident. It was so good I couldn’t stop. I should probably eat now. Stop everything you are doing and READ THIS. The world is so built up and thought through and the characters are great like I really feel for them, and there are parts where I’m super confused but that good confused where yk something big is ab to drop and then it drops and every single time I’m like damn mind blown never would’ve thought of that.
If I could give this one hundred stars I would. Fantastic read. 10/10

★★★★★ 4.5
An overall interesting story about a modern witch thrown into an even weirder world. There’s a lot of potential here, to the right kind of person.
Style (4.5/5)
The prose generally takes on a more flowery feel, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but is done pretty well. There were a few bits, however, that seemed confusing on the first read through. The author describes the characters and their surroundings quite well.
Story (4.5/5)
The story starts off strong, introducing the elements that will feature in the story early on. It gradually introduces the magic aspects, though the way it was done made things slightly more confusing, too. It only got more confusing as stuff started happening—it was hard to tell exactly what was possible in the world, and things never quite slowed down enough to explain it. Then it goes from its urban fantasy setting to one that seems more high, perhaps steampunk fantasy themed, as basically the first four chapters prove as one big prologue.
Grammar (4.5/5)
I spotted a couple of grammar errors while I was reading, but nothing too jarring.
Character (4.5/5)
We’re introduced to the main character and her situation quickly, learning a fair bit about her and her family through the first chapter. Despite this, I found it hard to truly sympathize or understand the main character, as none of her motives were really elaborated on. I did have some trouble distinguishing other minor characters, though, like Nord’s mother and the matriarch; it took me a while to realize they were two separate people, since the distinction wasn’t something that seemed important at first.
