While this book has a gorgeous cover, it didn't reflect what was inside. For me, this fantasy book felt lacking and it felt like too many other fantasy books I've already read.

But even though I had various problems with it, some things interested me in the end. Like the monsters. We didn't have a lot of information about them, but their uniqueness made me really intrigued, I wanted to know more about them. Why were they called that way? Where are they from? Is there a parallel universe somewhere in that world? The descriptions of each monster is really great and there are even poems/songs about them? It's like La Llorona or the Boogeyman for that historical time in this particular story.

I'm sure the story will only get better from this book. If you aren't too familiar with fantasy books, I would recommend to start with this one. But like me, who is such a die-hard fantasy fan, this book just wasn't for me.
