5 ⭐️ 5 ♥️ - I received this ARC from NetGalley.
Let me start by saying that this reads more like a historical fiction than most fantasies I’ve read in the last couple of years, that’s not a bad thing but if you are expecting a full blown fantasy with a Sanderson esque magic system, this isn’t the book for you lol.
This book was pure poetry, we follow Morgan from birth through events that are more often than not traumatic that shape her. The ending has me sobbing, I cannot recommend enough.
“True power comes from freedom, and the ability to survive what befalls us.” He had sent the peregrine up again to wait on, though I saw now it was us who waited on her. “There’s nothing keeping her here other than the respect she’s been shown.”
TW; sexual assault, domestic violence
