Sisters of Sword and Song follows two sisters-Halcyon and Evadne. Halcyon joined the military at a young age and is supposed to come back home. Instead of coming home, she sneaks into her childhood home to her shared bedroom with her sister the night prior to her return. She catches Evadne off guard and tells her that she cannot return home and to not give any information about her to her captain who will come the following day bearing the news of Halcyon and what she did. Halcyon takes off and is soon captured and taken to trial for killing a fellow soldier she was training with. She is given a heavy sentence. Evadne is at the trial and stands up and says she will take some of Halcyon’s sentence. Evadne is sentenced to do five years at the captain’s home. Once Evadne is at the captain’s house she soon becomes a scribe and is pulled into something much deeper than the sentence and what Halcyon was first fighting for. Will she and Halcyon be able to save their world?
Sisters of Sword and Song is just beautiful. It has a beautiful way of showing the sisters and their relationship. It has a beautiful world filled with magic. It has a beautiful slow burn romance. It is just beautiful. It has relationships, magic, and action all wrapped up in it. I did start out reading it physically, but the story is really slow and I didn’t have time to finish it as a library book, so I had to finish it as an audiobook. Highly recommend.
