One of my favourite genres is magical realism. I like our world, with a little something extra. So this was totally up my street. It's delightfully mysterious, and just the right side of creepy.

I adored Briseis and her family and was immediately intrigued in their history, and that of Briseis's birth family. The tie to Greek mythology was fascinating, particularly when its ties to history were investigated.

The story is gripping, emotional and scary, and the huge cliffhanger at the end left me desperate for the next book in the series!

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something green. The is amazing, not a retelling but heavy myth based but a new twist, opens a realm of possibilities and very much feels like a crumb chaser, following along on this mystery path. It definitely leaves you wanting more and more and more. It’s beautiful, even if a tad slow at the start.

Possibly obvious from the title, but there are several detailed descriptions of the effects of poisonous plants.
