I really enjoyed this book for the most part. I just love the way Holly Ringland writes. I read The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding earlier this year, and fell deeply I love with the story and the way Ringland told it.
Similarly, this book captured me in a way not many do. I felt fully transported each time I opened its pages and there’s a sense of magic you can’t deny in this tale.
However, I felt there were a few too many storylines and ideas so it began to feel disjointed and not fully fleshed out. By the end, I felt like things were wrapped up rather abruptly and I think we needed more in the transitions between Alice’s phases of life.
But again, overall, I still really loved this book and getting to live among another one of Holly Ringland’s beautifully complex female characters.
