I loved reading this. The characters are wonderful, and the sense of place is beautifully drawn. I loved getting to know Jessamyn's family, plus all the ghosts and gods. If you're in the mood for fantasy grounded solidly in our world, this would be an excellent choice.

One of the best books I’ve read - incredibly written, a beautiful and intriguing story with a plot that keeps you guessing.
I do want to explain one content warning (not a spoiler, not really) - I tagged it as graphic for sexual assault because there is an attempted rape scene. Nothing actually happens, but the scene is graphic enough particularly in descriptions of thoughts and emotions that it may be upsetting if this is a topic that is triggering to you.
