pickThis is a gothic story spaced with the language of magical realism and eerie, dark bits of old fairytales with a twofold narrative: that of a man, troubled by memories who married a mysterious young woman and another one of a girl, almost abandoning her family to live a magical life with a friend. My expectations for the ending vacillated from happy to tragic until the storylines met to find the end... There will be no spoilers..

pickThis is part fiction and part fantasy fiction. Plot surrounds 2 women who grow up believing they are faeries. But only one of them makes it to adulthood, and when she marries, she makes her husband promise her he won‘t dig into her past. Of course, secrets don‘t like to stay buried so he starts to pry. There are some interesting elements in the story. I wasn‘t quite as surprised by the ending as I thought i might have been. Still fun to read.
so-soIndigo is a mean girl who grows up to be a psychopath, living to manipulate reality and the lives of those around her, including her Aunt Tati, maimed-for-life and notably Azure, with whom she has a pact to become “one soul.” In a parallel story the Bridegroom recounts his life with Indigo and the secrets she keeps. Both stories are framed around fairy tales and a sentient house. All characters are hard to like, but it‘s beautifully written.
so-soRead in May-What was this?🤦🏽♀️Two timeline stories, one is about the present, Indigo, her husband and the story of the house. The other story is about the friendship, between Indigo and Azure. Dysfunctional? I think so. I enjoyed more this story. Something in the house is gothic, magical that will affect these two girls and Indigo‘s husband will discover the secret. But the Indigo you see at the beginning is not the same as you see at the end⬇️
pickModern day Gothic fairy tale.
The main character, a scholar of myths, marries a mysterious woman who tells him not to ask about her past, pludging them straight into their own Gothic tale.
Is this really magic, or is this madness?
The very beginning felt disjointed to me, but once the dual perspectives started, I really got into the tale.
