Unwinding the Spiral

A beautifully written story that reminded me of a particular childhood favourite - Avatar the Last Airbender.

We mostly follow two perspective, Wave and Jessandra, both a sort of outcast from their peers. Wave doesn't fit in with her fellow waterkin, while Jessandra's father grows tired at her lack of power. After an interesting bit of setup at the beginning, the story really begins to pick up after something unthinkable happens to Wave, and it throws her and those around her into a release of truth and confrontation.

I really enjoy the concept of the Gods granting the people their powers, and that some can have a stronger connection and tap into more than others. Of course, with great power comes great responsibility, as we learn with Wave and co. as they unravel more and more.

I look forward to reading the sequel, which I currently have an ARC for, to continue this journey. Hoping to see what happens to our beloved characters.
