Welcome to Litsy!

This was a bit of a strange read, the writing wasn‘t bad just different and while I appreciated the immersion I think it went a bit too far and took away from the story.
Two sisters must find a place to live where their social rule breaking won‘t be held against them in dark aged England and where they can find the support and love they need.
2/5 read for a very atmospheric story of two sisters who live in a dark age that is well described

Here are my July #roll100 picks! I‘ve already bailed on roll 25, but I‘m planning to give these 2 a try!

Not a favourite of mine...

There is a certain subtly in this book that I was uncertain about. I wasn‘t sure which way it would go or how things would get solved in the number of pages I had left. However the writing was mystical the relationship between sisters beautiful and the overall vibe was there. For sure this book was filled with a quiet female rage that I was unaware of when I picked it out. I wouldn‘t recommend this book to everyone but I loved it.

I know nothing about this book but this essay has me intrigued:

“The incoming Saxons were different from us. Of course they were. They believed in strange gods. They sacrificed things. They cooked over open fires. But they couldn‘t be that different from us. A few of them must have been curious enough to brave the dangers of the ghost city . . . just to see the wonder of it for themselves.“
