Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson
5.0
Artemisia of Naimes is one of the Gray Sisters, and her dream is to stay and tend the dead forever. However, life has other plans for her. She ends up becoming linked to a revenant, and must figure out where the Old Magic is coming from before disaster and tragedy occur.
This was easily one of my favorite books that I've read all year. I enjoyed Artemisia as a heroine, because she was so real. She had times where she was afraid, but her thoughts were pragmatic and even in danger, she did not hesitate to harm herself in order to save others. She is witty, self deprecating, but also quite insightful. She is a main character that I admire wholeheartedly.
The magic system was simple, yet detailed, and was interwoven perfectly with the religious aspects of the novel. I really enjoyed the interactions between Artemisia and the other characters, especially the revenant. I definitely will be preordering the sequel the instant it is announced!
