I was intrigued by this novel! I loved the powers related to crystals, salt, and the atmosphere and how both Loxy and Elodie had complicated feelings regarding their powers, religion, and their absent mother. The author used gorgeous descriptions to describe both the physical and the emotional. There were many times I wanted to tell off a character for being mean to the sisters and many times I wanted to hug them for what they experienced with the exile and Elodie coming to terms with her powers.

I adored the following elements and I think readers will too:
-focus on sister relationship
-survival
-questioning teachings
-healing from emotional trauma
-looking for a family member
-protagonists with powers
-strong female protagonists
-flawed yet relatable protagonists
