Finished this book yesterday, but it matched todays #BigJuneReadathon “BRIGHT” prompt. I really enjoyed this one! 💙✨
Hoping to read my way through all of the #BigJuneReadathon prompts. Not specifically in order, by its kind of worked out that way so far. The highlighted books are finished, the others are in progress.
I read this for March for my IG group #BardAlongBookClub2022
It was a fun read while waiting on doctoring today...labs, so fun.
Ever grateful I made it through my maneuver to rid myself of vertigo once again and LONG MAY IT LAST. PHEW.
At any rate this is definitely YA and definitely fantasy. The Tempest is one of my Shakespeare loves -so I would still rather read that, however I can see the appeal of this book. I imagine it will be well liked.
A historical fantasy, set in the 1920s on an isolated island beyond the coast of England. There is a very Gatsby feel about the atmosphere & some good allegorical. The setting is nice & dark with a good gothic flare. The magic system was interesting, though at times confusing. The characters are interesting, but needed more fleshing out. The last third was really well done and the ending was solid. A pleasant overall reading experience.
