Twixt Firelight and Water: A Tale of Sevenwaters by Juliet Marillier
4.0
4 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
With arms entwined, all summer long
We danced to our own secret song
We shone with love’s transforming flame
And then — oh, then — the autumn came.
'Twixt Firelight and Water is a recommended read before moving on to the sixth and final Sevenwaters book.
The 60-page novella can be easily read in one sitting and it dives into Ciarán and Fiacha's past offering more context on their history with the Lady Oonagh. The novella also introduces a new character who is the daughter of a key character—her name is Aisha.
The novella answers two key questions:
• What is Fiacha?
• What happened to Padriac (brother of Sorcha)?
This might be a short novella but don't underestimate the emotional damage it could cause. My heart hurts so much for Ciarán and Fiacha.
Since it's a novella, some events *might* feel rushed.
Marillier was diagnosed with Breast Cancer when she finished this novella and the story encouraged her to stay positive in the face of challenge and it truly is a story of hope and second chances.
