The cover art drew me in, the writing style pushed me away. There is an overwhelming use of hyphens and brackets used to set a scene. The wordiness of descriptions made it difficult to imagine the world building. I even tried reading out loud to try and capture the writing style and found it exhaustive. At one point I felt like I was reading a tenth graders creative writing project.
The concept of the story is intriguing. I like the way the reader is warned from the beginning that dark danger exists within the forest boundaries. This could be a solid 4 stars with further editing to reform sentence structure.
