Review:
Myth: 4/5
A crumbling, forgotten Italian city, still plagued by its history of mafia violence really just sweeps the reader away. A supposedly ‘modern day’ story drops Lilly right into what seems like a Capulets vs Montagues type feud, with even more to fear.
Lilly was a little hard for me to access at first, she has a lot of anger and a lot of self-blame, she’s quick to assume everyone thinks the worst of her, but also, she’s dropped into this medieval world so her reactions may be spot on.
Magic: 4/5
Dark and lush, secret, bottled magic finds a way. Lilly has to figure out who to trust and what that means for her in this strange, ancient town.
Overall: 4/5
This book swept me away to a remote city in Italy and at times I definitely wanted to scream, run! (that was definitely the author’s intent) I also didn’t want to leave at the end of the story. Book one in this new series burns bright.
