A review by bookstorian
Weyward by Emilia Hart
4.5
As a historical fiction girlie this read has been on my TBR for awhile, it wasn't until a friend absolutely raved about it that I bumped it up my TBR and got it from my local library - My only disappointment is that I hadn't read it sooner and don't own a copy...
What I liked about the book:
-Compelling to read, the fact that three women's narratives were intertwined through centuries to create the story was simple yet so enjoyable.
-Mini cliff hangers to end the POV made it all the more motivating to keep reading to see what happens!
-Emotionally invested in each of the character's story lines. The author created vivid characters
-Enjoyed the magical realism element, I felt the story could have leaned towards this a little more
-Overall message of a woman's power and resilience was strong especially in the face of male abuse and oppression
Sad I don't have my own copy, I usually collect my five star reads like treasures but this copy will just have to go back to the library for so many others to cherish instead!
