This was easily one of my most anticipated books of the year, having loved reading The Priory of the Orange Tree.

With the release of Curse of Shadows, I wanted to reread the first book before delving into it (albeit a bit late).

I am sad because I was rooting for this book.

Now, you might be asking why I am writing for a book I have already read and reviewed before.

While I did not remember what this book was about by the time I got around to reading it, I can see why I requested this

This one is going to be less of a review and more like a mini-review (or rant, it is a rant). So let's just get into it, shall we?

I found this book while browsing through NetGalley, and the concept stood out to me so I decided to request it.

This was on my list of books I need to read in 2022 and, uh, it wasn't a particularly successful one.
