Groans: SISTERS!!!
This was abt a 3.5ish read for me, but Im rounding up instead of my usual round down bc its a debut that i want to support, and I want to see more stories this. SISTERS AS THE FOCUS!!! ugh. I am so happy. Overall, I had a good time with thisthe sisters fraught relationship was a great hook for the story and i d their dynamic; the magic and world building was interesting and engaging, and I love me a complicated goddess/some religious theology/trauma. The hints of queerness (ace & sapphic rep) being there were lovely, and I also loved that they werent the focus, the sisters were. I personally love a romance, but I also realllllllly love and wish there were more stories actually focused on familial and platonic bonds more often, especially in things fantasy and scifi. I think, the reason this one didnt grab me in a chokehold is that there was something that felt a little young (according to the notes at the end, it was originally YA, and I think that is slightly felt lingering in the tone and some of the sisters interactions) and near the end, it got juuuuust a little bit too heavy handed for my personal tastes, but the bones of it was a relationship i enjoyed, and a really interesting world, and Id love to see more stories this one.all-parents-damage-their-children asexuality-ace-spec books-i-own-ebook ...more4 s Samantha PicaroAuthor 2 books16
I was intrigued by this novel! I loved the powers related to crystals, salt, and the atmosphere and how both Loxy and Elodie had complicated feelings regarding their powers, religion, and their absent mother. The author used gorgeous descriptions to describe both the physical and the emotional. There were many times I wanted to tell off a character for being mean to the sisters and many times I wanted to hug them for what they experienced with the exile and Elodie coming to terms with her powers.
I adored the following elements and I think readers will too:
-focus on sister relationship
-survival
-questioning teachings
-healing from emotional trauma
-looking for a family member
-protagonists with powers
-strong female protagonists
-flawed yet relatable protagonists1 Kourtney 340 11
