This was a really interesting read. As a Priestess of Goddess it is always lovely to see other Priestesses writing and inventing worlds filled with Goddess in all Her wondrous aspects. I really enjoyed how the real-time (present) Priestess of Avalon Training was blended into the story of this book, it felt at times like I was doing my Spiral 1 and Spiral 2 in Glastonbury again, so nostalgic! That kind of showing of lineage and continuity made it very evocative.
I really liked the set up of the world-building. It was quite immersive but felt rushed at times. There were some minimal typos and inconsistencies but they did not distract from the story. I am really happy that I have Book 2 already so I don't need to wait and can continue with the story straight away!

A very empowering read. This was full of action right from the very start. There was a good build-up and the world-building was impeccable. A fantastic read.

Great ideas - just very badly written.
