This book has the most stunning cover! Besides already being interested in reading this book, because I absolutely loved Emilia Hart's debut novel *Weyward*, I was immediately drawn in by the gorgeous cover.

This book is told in different POV's by: Lucy, Jess, and Mary. I was most captivated by Lucy's POV and we also get the most story from her character as well.

The book has alternate timelines and I really enjoyed both. In fact, I wish that we got a little bit more of the timeline from 200 years ago, I would've liked to learn a bit more from Mary about herself and her sister Eliza.

Like her first novel, we get to experience that focuses on the bonds between women, sisters - specifically and strong women at that. It was nice to see the women be presented with their obstacles and learn how to empower themselves to overcome what was pushed in their way.

I will say that I struggled a bit at the beginning getting into this book and it took awhile for the story to really get going.

Overall, I truly enjoyed this book and loved learning a bit of history that went along with the novel. I think it was once again, a beautifully written book just like her debut *Weyward*. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend.

Expected Release Date - April 1st 2025

Thank you to both NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Brandi Johnson Thanks, Shelley! I really enjoyed it but in my opinion, I thought Weyward was better.
