![]() ![]() ![]() Everything is reinforced through repetition. I imagined words weaving a story I would fall in love with…and instead I got a whole lot of repetition. This is blurbed as “ luscious and hypnotic”– amongst other similar things – and I could just imagine the beautiful writing style along with the folkloric elements. What unfortunately let me down was the writing. I’ll pass.īut since romance is a common thing in most books, I could have overlooked it. The other was basically an ode to kissing, which was just…no. I’m not usually the biggest fan of dominant romance stories in the first place, but somehow it’s even worse when I was expecting something different altogether. The synopsis promised a story of sisterhood and magic, but I found a romance. They soon find out their heritage holds magical secrets unknown, and all the fairy tales are true – and may just save them.īut I have to admit, I was disappointed. At least, that is until their parents leave, a band of unknown men enter the village, and one of the sisters is cast under a spell. A story inspired by Jewish Mythology, Slavic Folklore and – to mix it up a bit – Christina Rosetti’s Goblin Market, this book follows two sisters who live a relatively comfortable life in their small village. ![]()
