5.0

A beautifully woven Scottish fantasy that is handled with gravitas and care. The relationships are loving and strained by real heavy secrets, not shallow insecurities and miscommunications. The love isn't cheesy nor solely about lust, nor does it feel separate from the storyline. The magic is integral and practical as well, instead of a weapon or a way to get out of difficult situations. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to read the sequel!

Absolutely loved this book!

A very cozy read with a unique magic system, fun characters and a compelling mystery. The writing is unlike other fantasies I've read in that it's very lyrical, captivating and accessible. 

I adored the Sidra and Torin plotline and for the first time, I've really enjoyed reading child characters! (by this i mean they're cute and realistic rather than annyoing 🤣) 

Only criticism would be that I wasn't as convinced by Jack and Adaira, however I warmed up to them a lot more by the end.
