The Magician's Daughter was a delightful read! I've been meaning to read some of H.G. Perry's work for awhile and I'm definitely going to be reading more from her. The atmosphere and lyrical writing are perfect for this sweetly magical tale. Don't get me wrong, it gets dark! But the tone and writing weave the air of folklore and magic right into it. Often these kind of books start strong prose-wise, but can't maintain that tone, but Perry did a lovely job carrying through the tone consistently. I loved the Celtic and English folklore elements, and the characters were easy to care about and love. It is a rather slow start, but there's plenty to keep you engaged until the plot and action picks up. My only minor complaints were that the middle section dragged a little bit, and I was not a huge fan of a decision made near the end. Those things didn't really affect my enjoyment, and I would highly recommend The Magician's Daughter to readers who love magical atmospheres, mythology, and a beautiful found family.

Thanks to Redhook and to Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. I also listened - and loved! - the audiobook narrated by Rose McPhilemy. Her narration was perfection for this story!
