I felt pretty lost in the beginning, apparently this is the third book in a trilogy, so that would explain my confusion. However, despite this, I still greatly enjoyed this book. Alloway's writing style is perfect. I found myself often just getting lost in the world that Alloway built. Everything is rich with legend and fantasy. Thank the goddesses that it was as entertaining as it was because this novel was lengthy, and apparently all of the novels in this series are long. Fantasy novels typically are, no foul, no fault.

Overall, great story. Satisfying finish. I will most likely buy the first two novels, as well as a physical copy of this novel.

With thanks to Netgalley for supplying me with an e-ARC.

Save Haley. Find Peregrine. Kill Feodor.

Joshlyn Weaver has a list, and she’s going to check off every item or die trying. She needs to save Haley from the Death universe, hunt down her scheming grandfather, and force Feodor to return the souls he stole. Will would help her—if she’d let him. But since healing the broken bonds between them isn’t on her list, he’ll have to prepare to meet Peregrine on his own, and his investigation leads him to the dream-walker community’s strangest corners. When the Veil separating the Dream from the World begins breaking down, Josh and Will have to come together to stop Peregrine from destroying the balance between the three universes—and they’ll need Feodor’s help, which always comes with a price. With the three universes collapsing into one another, Josh must decide who she is and who she can trust in time to save the World, herself, and everyone she loves.

I really wanted to enjoy this book, and even though it was the third in a series and I hadn’t read the previous two, I kind of did.

Firstly, I really liked the cover, I think it’s beautiful. The colour combination is great! The font is clear and stands out from the background.

I struggled a little with the story though. Partly because all the characters and relationships were well established in the two prior books, and partly because Joshlyn’s nickname is Josh and I had to consciously correct myself picturing a male when reading about her. (I know a name can generally be any gender, however I’ve only ever known male Josh’s).

I believe that I would have enjoyed this book that little bit more if I had read the previous two. The world and lore has great potential. The plot is interesting, the written style good, flows quite well.

I feel like I cannot give this book a completely fair grade until I have read the others. Until then I’m going to give it a 2 stars out of 5 meaning it was Ok.

This book is well written, unique and has a well developed plot and characters. My hat goes off to the author for all of the above!

Unfortunately, I could not finish reading this book. I found the story itself to be too violent and dark - not a good fit for my reading tastes. This certainly is no reflection on this book or the author. For those who enjoy reading this type of book, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Beautifull, unique and I dived into every page and never pit it down till I was done! I want more loved it
