Magic and romance, the perfect combination. I found this story really interesting since its main focus was about a young sorceress trying to keep her magic (which would be taken from her when she married) while also trying not to fall in love with her new friend's brother. The struggle that both Beatrice and Ysebta both faced as young women trying to find freedom on their magic in a society that keeps trying to force them to settle into the norm and leash their magic was a great one to read about. I enjoyed the relationship between Beatrice and Nani (her spirit of fortune) and how they came to trust and love each other. This book was a great read and I loved how it dealt with the matter of women's freedom in the face of society that tries to take it away from them and the understanding of loved ones.
