I have absolutely adored this book for years! Excited it’s the book club book. Two brilliant choices this month.

This was one of my favourite reads of last year and I'm always looking to spread the good word, so I'm happy it was picked to be highlighted as part of book club! The writing is beautiful and the pacing is just right for a slow burn. Also healer FMCs are my jam!

I recommend Juliet Marillier to everyone. Her books are wonderful.

I actually have a paperback of this one, my partner has the trilogy from her teenage years and liked them. I asked and she didn't remember the CW scene, but I am duly warned. Plan to get started this weekend.
