It was a bit different from what I expected and even though I liked it.. I did not love it.

One of the biggest issues I had with this novel was the way it was written. It seemed overly descriptive and I could not keep my interest in it. I don't care how everyone looks down to the detail everytime they walk in, or how they smell this time, or the detail of every little leaf that falls down the tree.
Some can be more poetic then others.. but this way of writing is not for me. It worked in Strange the Dreamer for example, but not in this one. It annoyed me, and because of that I skimmed a lot.

The MC was also not that relatible.. and I did not care much for the other characters either.

I did really like that the story took place in Montenegro. I mean come on, how many stories do you know that has that setting ? Awesome !

I liked the plot, you did not really know what was happening exactly (though some parts were predictable) and it had a mysterious vibe to it...

I'm not sure yet if I will read the next one, it did have some interesting ideas (I love reading about witches).. but the whole way over the top detail writing is not really holding my attention.
