For a debut novel, this is pretty good! I liked the world Hanna Peach built in this book (it was described so well and poetically!) and I thought the storyline was original, too. What made it hard for me to get into the characters, however, was the present-tense third-person narrative; Alyx's voice didn't really establish itself for me. Sometimes we saw everything from her perspective, sometimes it was more like an omniscient narrator told us what was going on. This disturbed the flow somewhat. I also spotted some typos and recurring grammar mistakes (than/then, to/too) and I think the book would benefit from an extra round of copy-editing (which, fortunately, is quite easy when you publish on Kindle! :) Some parts in the book were not instrumental to the storyline and could have been edited out, IMHO, to make it more coherent.World-building and storyline: 5 stars.Writing style and plot execution: 3 stars.Overall: 4 stars! A good book for fans of urban fantasy and high fantasy.
