A really interesting magic world, with a great cast of characters. Nicholas was annoying at first (spoilt rich kid), but he grows on you. I loved Joanna and Esther. And all of the MCs lives were a bit of a raw deal, which was thankfully all resolved happily by the end.

Also, this should be tagged by storygraph as an LGBT+ book, as Esther is bisexual and in a relationship with a woman.

I was so hype for this book, but it has a few issues. I feel like the perspective shifting was jaring at times and I couldn't remember who was Joanna and who was Ester until about 10 to 12 chapters in. The characters were fleshed out and thought through, but the story was hard to follow at times. The characters are relatable, but I didn't get a personal attachment until about halfway through the book. There have been better ones, and I feel bad for giving this 2 stars considering how excited I was for it, but it didn't grasp me how I thought and it was more confusing and hard to get into.

I did not expect to love this book. The first quarter was a slog for me. But something clicked once the new storyline was introduced and I became hooked. There are some beautiful lines of poetic literature in these pages, but also some deeply complex, human characters handling immensely complicated emotions and relationships. Abe is the ultimate dad 🫶🏼

loved it. gruesome at parts, but the whole thing was exactly what I was hoping for when I plucked it off the library shelf. adventure, magic, sisters, secrets, a mystery, bonus Antarctica content????, herbs, women doing 92% of the interesting things in the story. chef's kiss.
