I absolutely LOVED this book!!  Not only was it an intriguing fantasy novel, but it had a huge twist that completely threw me!The synopsis explains the book well, so I’m just going to get straight to my review. The negatives: Light on magic.  For a fantasy novel, this one was actually pretty light on magic and fantastical elements.  First daughters in this world were supposed to have “the gift,: which is basically an ability to […]
