I got Daughter of Mythos from Book Bub because I loved the description.As a lover of fantasy, this book did not disappoint. I remember being most impressed with the author's writing. She has a very smooth flow to her descriptions and the story in general that I really enjoyed. I was actually really surprised to find that this was her first book, as it didn't feel like that at all.One thing that tears me on this book though is that I didn't really think the swearing and profanity fit with the characters. I'm not a prude that thinks teenagers don't swear- I get it. But it just didn't fit. I dropped from five star because of it, and I would also hesitate recommending this to kids in the 8-12 year old range because of the profanity.She has a lot of fun, original spells, places, events, and people. It was really fun to discover the world. In that regard I really enjoyed reading it. However, the fast pace kept back some depth from the story and from Nora that I think I would have enjoyed reading.Overall, I really enjoyed it and will read more of Drake's work.
