 “I was an elder sister before I was a wife, and for longer, and that’s a shape I can’t easily shake.” 

Outside of the convoluted magic system that I didn't fully understand, this book made me cry. Such a beautiful love between sisters etched across those pages. Still makes me weepy to think about it.
