I was surprised to find that when I got to the end of this book I really liked it. It tackles heavy topics with grace and without too much detail. There is strong symbolism too. The relationship between the sisters seemed realistic and sweet. The Fernweh women are not to be messed with. We also loved the queer representation and discussion about being unsure about sexuality.
One thing I didn’t like is that we as the audience were kind of beaten over the head with hints about Georgina’s power. It does bother me a great deal that at one point in the book Georgina says she could care less when she means she couldn’t care less. That’s a pet peeve of mine. I also noticed extra words in some of the sentences. This book just needed better editors.
