A review by sailorlune
The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo

dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

5.0

A scullion with a miraculous secret finds herself caught, displayed and thrown into a tournament of miracles! A familiar tied to a family thru centuries of a curse and used as a lucky charm is tasked with training her. When their eyes meet, their magic greets them and lifts them off of their feet (it feels like it at least), a waft of orange blossoms rolls thru and the TENSION IS GLORIOUS! Loved this damn book cover to cover!
