Briseis is a young teen female protagnist that has lots to learn. For one about her birth family when she gets the news her biological mom Selene and sister Circe left her the estate mansion in Rhineback, New York. And of course the way she got her ability to grow plants and safety against poison. With two moms that raised her, Bri leaves New York City for a summer in the upstate New York town.
Now the mythology that is a part of this is so intricate. But at the same time makes sense. Brisesis through discoveries of in the mansion learns about the work and ancestry. Notnto mention who she meets from living in this mansion. Who they descend from, the work their apothecary and garden did for certain locals brings about a new world thats dangerous but gives her some more depth about her identity. The gift becomes more dangerous with the fact its goes back to Hecate and old relative Medea.
She finds out the risks of this world and power quick enough. With one seceret and dangerous heart plant that was under Selene and Circes protection in there garden. This being the major danger that causes the plot. With her family throughout and the end of this story.
I can't wait to see what new details are revealed in This Wicked Fate. But at the same time am extremely nervous with how this one concludes.
