Definitely a lot of triggers for this book, but a beautifully written story about the legacy of women and their strength.

This book was phenomenal. I keep starting books and then walking away at the moment, and this was the first to really grab my attention and have me glued to the story. 
This is a story of generational cycles of trauma and the resilience of three amazing women. Their stories are so powerful, and despite the slight fantasy element, are so rooted in reality and the strength we can draw through shared stories. I adore Altha, Violet, and Kate, and am so sad there’s nothing left to read on them. 

Some definite trigger warnings for this book that are worth looking up for those who are sensitive to certain subjects.

I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. Traumas are a big (but essential) part of the plot, so check trigger warnings if needed.
