I really enjoyed this story and it reminds me a lot of some polish folklore. I won’t deny there were some aspect with the writing that threw me off, the repeated mentions of actions (ran a hand down his face, leaned in doorway) only a few sentences apart. I still very much enjoyed the book. It kept me interested and engaged the entire time. Did I want to reach in the book and slap around some character, yes I did. But for me it’s a good thing. The ending was a whirlwind of action and makes you want to grab the next book and dive right in.

I liked it! I thought it was entertaining and engaging to the end; I thought the characters were easy to relate to and like; I thought the pace was good; and I thought the magic system/plot was unique. I did think the sentence structuring was difficult to get use to at the beginning, requiring me to reread sentences to fully understand meaning. And I wish the author spent a little more time developing the backstory to the plot and better transitioning/linking one plot point and one magic aspect to the next. Lastly, I really wish there was a world map…but I’m a sucker for a map at the beginning of a fantasy book! Overall, I’m hooked! I do love a good book about magic based in nature 🌼 and about the love between sisters 💕 !!

4.5 but I’m feeling just bouncy and generous.
rtc but I had a grand time.
LOTS of self harm and cutting tho—it’s kind of how the magic works. So, ah. There’s that.

I’m tired of BATB retellings where the “beast” is just a hot emo guy with magic. I tried to push through, but I don’t care about these characters either.
