*I was gifted an e-copy of the book in exchange for an honest review*I wasn’t too keen on this writer’s writing style. It was very narrative and very explanatory. Nothing was left to wonder. Nearly every sentence was followed by “maybe because…”. It was hard for me to get into the story and connect with the characters.Ava is supposed to be a Keeper. She’s supposed to protect and fight but instead she’s portrayed as someone who needs to be rescued at all times. She seems to have a few surprises up her sleeve but I didn’t understand why she was hiding her new ability.But I love the premise of the Keepers and other magical races. We get to find out about them and their abilities through Ava’s research and learning of the history. It was an intriguing read I just wished the writing style was different as it kept me from fully enjoying the story.
