Actual rating 3.75.

This was a fun story overall, but for some reason, it didn't wow me the way I expected it to. It started out great and pulled me in right away. The story never dulled, but the plot seemed repetitive at times. The main character, Taryn, is a bit self-deprecating but still likable overall; plus she can be pretty tough (sometimes). By the end though, she does begin to realize that she isn't as simple as she once thought.

So much fun to read!

Excellent worldbuilding that kept me wanting to know more, relatable, intriguing characters that made me care what happens next, and a thrilling, archaeological ride in a fantasy world.

The three faeries and their wild brethren were my favourite – never know what they’ll do.

As for Alric… He’s a good match for Taryn.

I can’t wait to read the next book.
