Average rating4.2
Despite the rating I did enjoy reading this. I like the characters, the action is pretty good. But it felt aimless and inconclusive. I know it's part of a series, but it almost felt like conflict would resolve and a new one would begin without ever getting a chance to celebrate it being resolved. It's hard to explain the feeling I had finishing this book, but it was such a long and slow read/listen for me.
I don't know if it's because of the stressful times we're in right now or what, but I was so immersed in this story that I was able to forget about it all for a while. I absolutely loved it! This has been on my shelf for a while, and I just wasn't ever in the mood for it. Not sure what I was expecting, but this was amazing! The writing is fantastic, but the characters are probably my favorite part. I just can't say enough great things about this book. If you like fantasy, read it!
Fantastic debut. Can't help but root for the two badass ladies. If ever two people were meant to be together, it is the two Pine Needles. The ending left me satisfied and hungry for the next in the series
This was okay enough. I do want to read the second book so I guess that's a good sign.
After all, if this story is really anything, it is a love story: two girls with great destinies ahead of them, but still, at the end of the day, just human, and so very much in love with one another. While the fact that this is about two women in love is a good thing, what with LGBTQIA love stories ??? more so specifically lesbian love stories ??? being a little thin on the ground, I enjoy the fact that this is also a love story well-told. No amount of representation will save a love story if it is told badly, after all, and I am enormously happy that this story is, indeed, a well-told love story, with an ending well-deserved.
