This book was fine. It has a plot somewhere in all the words used. It has characters that are described in minute detail. It has a setting that when you have such descriptions, you don't need to google. It's clear as day.
I don't think I'm this book's target audience. There isn't much that goes on in it. Things happen but they happen at a pace that I kept wondering if this novel would ever end. Is it bad? No, it's great for people looking to relax or something to help them sleep right before bed. It's lowkey stakes set in the Welsh countryside. I feel like the back of the book mislead me or I misinterpreted things to where the two stories would have more interaction than there was. I kept waiting for that to happen. I guess it did but in such trivial ways that one can almost be like "why?"
If you're looking for a quiet novel about a woman coming to terms with new power and a story of a past Seer, then this might do. There are many other books about solitary women practicing magic though.
