I wanted to love this book but something kept it flat for me and I just couldn’t feel the excitement in any of the characters. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for early access to this book.

Sorry, requested it by mistake as already read and review it.
This was my review:
I appreciated the style of writing and appreciated the references to folklore. This is not fast paced and action packed story, this is a story that talks about people who live in Gyrford in an alternate XIX century.
The author did a lot of work in recreating a simil XIX century language and developed a fascinating a complex world building.
I wasn't a fan of John, a bit too juvenile, but I found the plot entertaining and compelling.
I hope there will be other stories set in this world.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
