I know this is quite a popular book and I was so excited to read it and everything but I actually found it quite boring, lol. maybe I need to give it another try but I just couldn't get into it!

I normally read more high-stakes fantasy so maybe that's why I was just so bored with how slow this book was going. I really loved the whole concept of it and everything but seriously, it was SO SLOW

This book is described as "A gothic fantasy about monsters and magic, set on the banks of a cursed lake." which is quite literally what it is. now that sounds REALLY interesting, but if you're like me and like more fast-paced books, this isn't for you

The main character, Violeta Graceling, arrives at this "haunted" Lakesedge estate. Where a ton of fairytale monster are there and essentially end up just wanting to "woo" Violeta (wink wink get the hint)

Leta ends up getting attached to Rowan, who she later discovers is bound to this mysterious lord death god whos lurking in the lake.

I don't NOT recommend this book, but just note that its quite slow for most of it until it gets a little more high-paced, overall not my favorite, but I'm thinking i might just need to give it another shot :)
