The Set Up: Tana loves her island life with her new order coven, practicing quiet and calm magic. She’s always known that one day she’ll marry a mainlander in a high profile marriage, guaranteeing protection for her coven from those who once sought to eradicate witches completely. But when she misses an important ritual, her life is suddenly in danger. The only person she can turn to for help is Wolfe, a boy from the old coven who’s magic is dark and forbidden, but makes more sense than anything Tana has ever known.
I am simply in love with Rachel Griffin’s writing. It’s that simple. While this book wasn’t my favorite of hers, it had everything that I love from the worlds that she builds. Her stories have such a strong connection to the earth; they are the epitome of cozy cottage-core witch vibes. I loved the change of scenery in this book - her last was very forest-focused, and this is very summer and ocean oriented.
I think what I wanted from this book was a bigger conclusion - while Tana and Wolfe help their island make some progress, I wanted something more satisfying. I can appreciate that the ending was a more practical step forward, I was hoping Tana would completely shake up the entire island’s belief system.
Overall though this was a great book to sit down with on a warm summer evening.
Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for the advanced e-book!
