The Memory Trees by Kali Wallace

3.0

This was an enjoyable read. Mostly because I love stories centred around family and set in beautiful landscapes. However, the magical realism of the story didn't always hit the mark for me. There's extensive, detailed descriptions of the weather and the landscape which could get a bit repetitive and boring after a while. Do note that I'm not particularly fond of very descriptive writing - I enjoy some more plot-driven action. Even though the writing was not my cup of tea, I do admit it was beautiful and had me (mostly) fully emerged in the story.

Besides that, I often got confused when there was talk about the Lovegood family's ancestors. I don't know why, but I couldn't keep any of them apart for some reason.
