This was so good I feel like I have to re-read Roots & Ruin too so that I can keep uncovering all the little bits of secrets buried in here. Loved hearing more about the other sisters.

I liked the book overall, I just felt like the characters were a little flat. And more so with the connections between characters. I usually prefer more character building than this, but if you like to get right to the story, this would work for you! I found the ending to be predictable but I still enjoyed :)
