I went into this with more expectations than the book delivered. My bad I should have read the blurb

Instead of sweeping action this story is told from two female perspectives. While I found these characters okay I feel the story lacked something. A deep dive into women's struggles as they try and keep their children alive, or seek to get more power for their children. Grouch(?) reminded me a little of Cersi from Game Of Thrones.

The story had no sweeping plot twists and the fantasy element was rather pushed to the back. But it was okay. A line of enjoyment but nothing that swept me away in the story.

It failed on my expectations but that doesn't make it a bad book. It just wasn't what I wanted when I read the title.

If I was to describe this story it would be meh. A meh kind of story.
