Another book recommended by a friend, and a genre I don’t read often, fantasy. I will admit that I skimmed certain pages and scenes but on the whole I enjoyed this book very much. Based on legends and occasionally reading like a video game, there are several strong heroines and a strong friendship. The magic is fun and has consequences. And ultimately the themes relate to a sense of home/rootedness, humanity, and growth: “she had remembered the wrong things, and forgotten too much. She’d remembered how to kill and how to hate, and she had forgotten how to grow” (419).
