The island of Cadella is absolutely mesmerising and I loved every magical description of the salted brisk winds and colourful rows of homes and balconies. The story was gripping and maintained its power right through to the end. I did, however, wish I’d gotten to read more about Lina and Eva’s relationship, the world after the Dark Tide, and even the history of before. Despite being over 300 pages, I just wanted to know even more about the characters and their lives and homes.
