Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson
3.0

I’m giving this a 3 star but I think for many people it could be a 4 or 5 star read. It just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Artemisia is a nun that has been through a lot. From being possessed at a young age to being thrown in the path of becoming something she really doesn’t want to be. The world is different now after the Sorrow. Spirits can roam the Earth and they aren’t something you want to mess with. There are different levels of spirits called orders. The higher the number the more powerful. Some of these more powerful spirits have been sealed into relic and can be controlled by some of the trained Clerisy. In the story there are people with the sight and they can see spirits. Only those with the sight can study to control a relic.

Well Artemisia isn’t trained but is forced to learn to control a relic and it is one of the most powerful ones. Artemisia isn’t sure she wants to walk this path but along the way see find friends and spirits that will come together to give her the strength to do what needs to be done.

Again I think it was a good story but it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
