I’m no longer the age demographic for this but it was lovely to go back to it! Also the way the narrator pronounced ADHD made me laugh.

this book took me a while to finish, but i’m very glad i did. it was difficult to get through as the main character faces so much suffering, but it was wonderfully written.

I think I over-hyped this book in my head. Likely deserving of a reread in a few years

‘’I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it’’

This book is incredible. So painful but so so beautiful.

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!
