I had a hard time getting into this one, it seemed to start extremely slow.
I did enjoy the legend of the firebird, and the ruthless aspect of taking a price for magic. It was spooky and unsettling at the beginning of the novel, and held it’s pace through to the very end.
Liked the sapphic elements, of course. I thought the sisters were both really well written. It was a good book, it just didn’t grab me and I can’t fault it for that.
