3.5

I really enjoyed the magical/mystical aspects of the story line and found it to be a lovely read overall. That said, I have some feelings about the way the book discusses/treats familial bonds, especially the way it seems to prioritize genetic relationships over those of the people who are around.

3.5 ⭐️s. Tbh, I didn't expect much out of this one. I ended up having a good time with it though! Explores family dynamics in a speculative way that doesn't feel too hokey.
