pickI might not have gotten to experience the absolute delight that this story is (also genuine anxiety when Greta walked determinedly into danger) if the audiobook had the same cover as the bland paperback version that I turned my nose up at a year or so ago.
It‘s a glorious blending of several fairytales - most prominently Hansel & Gretal and Snow White & Rose Red. And it‘s one of those books that could have been written, just for me.
My OwlCrate edition of Water Moon came today 📚

so-soI didn‘t particularly enjoy this one. Lots of people love it, but it was just okay for me.
so-so3/5 ⭐️ I was really excited for the premise of this story, witches based on Jamaican folklore, but it fell flat for me. It really needed a glossary for all the complex world building terms that were thrown in without explanation. I won't continue the series but I would read something else from this author.
so-soThis likely affected my review, yet it really bothered me that I swear I‘ve read half this story before years ago.
Otherwise, this was a decent book. I wish there was a little bit more connection between what happened with the Knight at the end and earlier in the story. It was a n ie twist, though it felt disjointed. The end and beginning just felt like totally different stories
I absolutely love this edition that i got from Thriftbooks!

pickGot myself unblocked with this today and raced through. I ended up enjoying it enough to finish, but it isn't a favourite with me. I think it just took too long to get beyond vibes into what recognisably felt like a plot that was going somewhere, though in retrospect the seeds were there.
pickI need, NEED cinnamon rolls and raspberry jam after reading this book. Cozy and comfy, absolutely charming.
