 Review: 

This was a very beautiful read. It wasn’t exciting or thrilling. It was a simple and beautiful story with a wonderful aesthetic and a folklore feel. The writing was soft and the imagery stunning. No real twists or turns but a story that is meant to be admired like a painting rather than devoured like a meal. 

QUOTES: 

“Angry mothers raise daughters fierce enough to fight wolves.” 

“Honor is a light that brings trouble. Shadows are safer by far.”
