In my opinion sometimes unnecessary romantic involvements affect the pace and credibility of the story. Lack of romantic elements fit well with this story.
This fact brings two characters closer and creates a loyal bounding. Overall: I enjoyed the world building and competitiveness of Aleida and Eloide who seemed like opposite characters but they are both manipulated by harmful characters throughout their lives who prevent them see their own powers and strengths. Of course she has no idea what kind of dangerous and important task waiting for her and she has no idea she will work for a witch and team up with strick, harsh mistress Aleida. But when a job opportunity appears out of nowhere by a strange correspondence which forces her team up with a farmer, the farmer’s daughter and a magician to start a journey headed to Black Oak Cottage close to Lilsfield community, she sees this as an escape route from her miserable life. Her path crosses with Elodie, our main character, living isolated life at a ramshackle homestead, still grieving with the loss of her father, mentally and verbally abused by her stepfather, neglected by her own mother. Glyssha Blackbone, cutthroat bitch is finally dead but the monsters she’d created are out there, moving around, threatening the peace of woods.Īleida left behind, scared of warlock threatening her to pay the debt she owes and the monstrous tree lurking in the orchard is another ominous sign that she cannot lose any second: things are about to get worse and she needs urgent help. Finally I found a great beginning of new installments: a fresh, breath taking, moving fantasy series. This is unique, hooking, fast pacing, folklore dances with feminist vibes kind of entertaining fantasy with powerful, likable heroines and detailed, outstanding world building.
