really liked it

“I was a sister before I was a wife, and for longer, and that’s a shape I can’t easily shake� RIP me 😭

this was such an unique little story. melancholy and full of love at the same time. there is a romance here but the true star of this book is sisterhood. the bond between Esther and Ysabel is so strong and pure, I can relate so much to their deep connection that only comes through sisterhood. While the prose was beautiful and I really loved our characters, I did find the magic system a bit confusing, so not quite a 5 star, but a very special book all the same. 🥀 also I fear this story MUST be consumed on audio, the production is so well done.
