Hiya Bookworms,
Today short novella from Naomi Novik I had a chance to read thanks to Netgalley.
It's sort of fairy-tale like story about Celia who discovering her talent to magic the day her beloved older brother left home.
Book blurp telling us that Celia cursed her brother out of childish anger and then with passing time trying to find a solution to undo this and she's finding out the truth about the old war between her people and their immortal neighbors the Summerlings. Now with help of her other brother she has a chance to undo the curse and heal the war-torn land.
Whole novella is just bit more then 100 pages long and I can truthfully say fast and nice read when you have some time spare during travelling. I read it when sit in train during my holiday travels.
Story has few twists and giving us a chance to find out more about Celia, her brothers and her father before its final. Characters are nicely written, not 'flat' and I definitely like how this story builds up and how its finished.
Solid 4* from me here.
