Strangehold by Rene Sears

rebeccazh's review against another edition

short but fun read, a really relaxing read compared to my school books. i liked the main character, because she is practical but caring. the story follows her struggle to find her nieces while racing against the clock to figure out a cure for casters who are struck by an abnormal disease. tbh i was more interested in the abnormal disease plotline, because i like morbid mysteries. (i'd have liked for this to be a full out morbid mystery novel where she just struggles to solve the epidemic killing her fellow casters.) but anyway, really liked the description of strangehold -- what a magical place -- and the book interested me enough to try out the sequel

I thought this one was a novel and my read was mostly "huh, this seems sparse" and I just realized it's a novella. Ohhhhhhhh.

Interesting world and characters, very much setting up further stories (not much is resolved here, or it resolves only to show bigger and worse issues) and I worry about everyone. We are all so vulnerable and know NOTHING.

I won this book in a goodreads give away and I must say I really liked it. It’s a very unique story with a lot of symbolism.
