Review

This is a fantasy that leans toward literary fiction. I feel like the writing is a bit lacking. A tthe beginning in particular we are told the sisters ages and then we are told that they were born close together and in what order, as if we can’t do the math. Little nit-picks like that which make it feel like it could have used some cleaning up. The characters are good and there are a lot of funny moments. Overall a pretty good story.
