I have had this book on my TBR pile for awhile and was excited to read this. I ended up reading the first 200 pages of this book and just couldn't get into the story, so I stopped. It was written in a very simple style and ended up being very boring. No matter where or when I read this book I kept falling asleep and I rarely fall asleep while reading.
The story bounces back and forth between a young hedgewitch named Makenna and a young knight. Makenna has befriended the goblins in the woods and is harassing the ruling kingdom with her goblin army. The young knight is sent to find her and lead a group of church sorcerers to stop Makenna's rebellion.

I struggled with the stark writing style and how slow the story moved. I didn't find the characters, the storyline or the world-building to be all that interesting or engaging.

Overall I didn't like this book and stopped reading it after the first couple hundred pages. I won't be continuing with the series, this was just not for me.
