Sistersong is tragic and beautiful. I went into this book unfamiliar of the Twa Sisters ballad but this didn’t take away from the experience at all.
Some of the characters’ motivations had me rolling my eyes a little, mostly Sinne and Riva, but their flaws were also interesting at times. Also really enjoyed the trans rep and the portrayal of magic!
