A Letdown from a Beloved Author

summarizeEditor's Summary

I was really looking forward to Daria Debmare's new book, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The story started strong, but as I kept reading, I couldn't shake off the feeling that it was missing something special. The writing style, in particular, felt quite different from her earlier works, like the Maria Karavai series. While I appreciate that authors evolve and try new things, this book just didn't have the same magic as her previous ones. It's a decent read, but not what I was hoping for from this talented author. The story's disjointed feel and uneven pacing made it hard to get fully invested in the characters and their journeys.
