Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review.
Happy pub day to this lovely little book 🙂
Okay, I’m rounding this up to five stars because I can’t stop thinking about it. Setting aside re-reads, I think this might actually be the best book I read in February.
This is a fairytale-esque novella about two sisters who sing to willow trees and have to deal with unwanted and wanted suitors, and it’s about the strength of the bond between the sisters, and about the power of music and community, and it just has excellent vibes. I really shouldn’t say more about it because it’s so short, but don’t go in looking for detailed worldbuilding or character arcs, it’s not that kind of story.
This is one of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to and it adds something that could never be replicated by reading with your eyeballs. So, if you’re an audiobook reader, this is a must read. It would make an EXCELLENT hybrid read, if you have both hardcover/e-book and access to the audio. The SINGING. Good lord.
[4.5 stars, rounding up for the goosebumps I got while listening]
