“The spirits felt his attention shift from them to her. The woman with hair like moonlight, the woman made of sharp beauty” 🌑 Rebecca Ross

First of all, the Scottish imagery was so perfect! It gave such depth to the atmosphere and the charming clan. I love how the magic was woven into music, weapons and plaid. I loved the story surrounding the missing girls and family history. 🪄

Personally, I struggle with slower books and this was no exception, with most of the action happening in the last 30% of the book. However, it is well steered by the end and made me immediately start thinking of potential twists in the second book of the duology. 🌪

Whilst I liked the growth of Sidra and Torin as a couple, I just wanted more. I know this book isn’t just about romance but I just didn’t ship anyone, least of all Jack and Adaira. Just felt like a wasted opportunity due to there being some strong characters and magic. 💔
