3 Stars

Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about this book. On one hand, the author did a wonderful job world building. The story takes place in a Victorian era. It showed the restrictions and standards that women had to live by very well. The writing and speech fit in with the era. The cursed mill was an interesting mystery to be solved and I enjoyed the paranormal aspect especially the fact that the author used the lesser Fae in her story.

On the other hand, I found the story slow. It failed to grip my attention and keep it. I prefer stories with strong female leads. Although Jessa has certain strengths, I found that she was too scared most of the time and she constantly questioned herself. Seeing as this is a prequel, I believe that she will gain confidence and become stronger as the series progresses. I found it sad that my favourite character was the cat. I believe that there are a lot of readers who will enjoy this book but for me I prefer a little more action and intensity.
