Good start

I went into this book expecting something very different. Maybe it was just me, but I don’t think the description and the book matched. I think it will work for the next book, but I feel like this book was building up to the description. The being trapped against her will happened in the prologue. I think the ending/cliffhanger is supposed to lead up to it, but there wasn’t much suspense. I don’t know, the nods to a potential secret society were few and far between.

One thing I liked is that the POV’s were of three of the female main characters. We were able to understand them on a different level and experience different events through their eyes. When it comes to the men, honestly, most of them rolled into one. I feel like I couldn’t tell the difference between most of them until maybe the last quarter of the book. I think we weren’t exposed to them as much other than some references so they didn’t stick. Even now, I’m still figuring out who the four MMCs are supposed to be. I think I know but like I said, some of them are kind of rolling into one.

The story was interesting but I think I went into this expecting something different. I feel like this was a long introduction into a much more complicated and darker world. This book definitely wasn’t dark but I think book 2 will give us what this book was supposed to give. I do love this author and I do enjoy the worlds she creates, but I think the description of the book vs what the book actually was threw me off a bit. I’m interested to see how everything works out in the next book because this was a good foundation, it just wasn’t what I expected.
