Takakush is not my typical read and it took me a while to get into it, but I stuck with it and finally found the flow of the story. The story introduces many characters, but I don't know if all of them are necessary to the story. They really felt like they were included to bulk up the page count. If Raine Reiter took them out it would be a better story that would catch the reads attention quicker.
We follow two main characters as they work together to uncover and solve a mystery or what is attacking and killing people in the nearby forest. I found the Elena character interesting because she was more thought out and fulfilled. She had so many sides to her that I was excited to learn about and found it made her a valuable asset to the investigation. There is magic and mystery that surrounds this journey we go on and it does have a payoff in the end.
If you stick with the story you will not be disappointed, you just have to give this one a chance. Overall I enjoyed the adventure and am glad I went on it.
