Historia
Liska knows that magic is monstrous, and its practitioners are monsters. She has done everything possible to suppress her own magic, to disastrous consequences. Desperate to be free of it, Liska flees her small village and delves into the dangerous, demon-inhabited spirit-wood to steal a mythical fern flower. If she plucks it, she can use its one wish to banish her powers.

I really liked this book but I also had issues with it. For one, I am definitely glad I decided to listen to it since there were a ton of words that I wouldn’t have been able to pronounce. Moving onto what I enjoyed were the magical characters who all had their own depth. Things like the sentient house and house spirits were so cute and exciting. I throughly enjoyed all the twist and turns that didn’t feel super predictable but at the same time not every earth shattering either. It was sorta hinted at always so things like the Leshy sacrificing people to the old god made sense. However, things I didn’t like were among the Leshy dying. It made sense with the story but that killed my heart so bad! I just finished it so I’m still sad about his death. It was super unexpected and just ripped my heart out. The ending was quite sweet though with Liska taking in more magical children. Additionally, the old god was formidable at times but he mainly pissed me off. I wanted a darker more scary antagonist. He just sorta felt a little lack luster. Overall, it was a beautiful book that I would definitely recommend. However, it is more suitable for younger audiences in my opinion. I think anyone could read it, but don’t be surprised at how the romance is sorta surface level.
