Since I first picked up Spells for Forgetting, Adrienne Young has solidified her place on my bookshelves as an auto-buy author. When you open an Adrienne Young novel it is a guarantee you'll get atmospheric writing, small sparkles of magic, and a story that keeps you enthralled until the very last page. 

A Sea of Unspoken Things is another beautiful story of love, healing, and mystery. This is the type of book that has the reader wanting to cosy up under a warm blanket with a cup of hot coffee and immerse yourself in the story. Young does a beautiful job of describing scenery, atmosphere, and inner thoughts of characters - I always feel as if I am in the Pacific Northwest when I'm reading one of her novels. 

Young seems to write her novels by a formula at times - you can expect some romance, a mystery and a little magic - but there is something so comforting about her writing that it's easy to dismiss the feeling that you've read the story before. 

While not my favorite of her novels, A Sea of Unspoken Things solidifies Young as a must read author.
