Adrienne Young’s novels are transporting. Her worlds are enthralling (in this case, a little haunting), and her characters are always intriguing.
Emery and August are no different in this book. I actually put off reading Spells For Forgetting because I’m not a huge “magic” fan. But this book is so much more than that, and Young wove her magic system throughout the story deftly and delicately, making it feel real.
The magic wasn’t only magic; it was the town, the people, the atmosphere, and the mystery—all intricately sewn throughout beautiful prose. I fell in love with Saoirse Island.
