Od Magic by Patricia A. McKillip
5.0
This is such a quiet book. There is almost no plot, at least not in a typical fantasy way. No saving the world, no battles, no quests. Just small things happening.
You follow a cast of characters (there are 5 POVs) living their life until some things change. Some things make them question themselves, their lives, their place in the world. And that little things, little doubts, little thoughts ultimately shake the foundation of the world itself.
It's a slow book. In the first half almost nothing happens. And then, it's like watching the characters tip few domino pieces and holding your breath in anticipation—have they just destroyed their lives? Is the world going to fall with them? Or, and that's also a possibility, nothing much changes in the end?
