sleepydahlias 's review for:

A Spell for Drowning: A Novel by Rebecca Ferrier
3.5

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was such an interesting premise. I love books that are mythology/folklore based outside of the greek/roman pantheon. The prose was rich and immersive and I lost my sense of time while reading. There was a haunting and wild sense of beauty and Ferrier did a fantastic job of creating an atmospheric setting. I think the themes of acceptance in communities and the constraints on woman were well explored and the body horror was a 10/10.
