the first chapter is like leaving me super cold

it is written in a really lovely way i tend to really enjoy aletta bodard's novellas a lot more than her novels so this one is probably going to be one that i enjoy though i'm not i'm not sure if it's going to blow me away

i haven't gotten very far into this i don't really understand what's going on so far but it is really beautifully written and i'm so intrigued by the character and what is going on there's just something very tantalizing about the beginning of the story so i am hooked

i didn't really get along with her last novel which was a great gatsby retelling with magic i just it wasn't for me

so i'm really enjoying this book i thought i would just like blaze through it because i'm enjoying it so much but actually i pick it up and i read like a chapter or two a day and i'm just enjoying the slower progression through the story and being with the characters for longer

i really enjoyed the witness for the dead and the grief of stones picks up right after that and it is more mystery investigations basically
