A Storm of Sisters by Michelle Harrison

booksandlemonsquash's review against another edition

4.0

I received this book from the publisher via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

I honestly thought this series was a trilogy and was sceptical when this book was announced. I needn't have been, I think it may be my favourite book in the series! Something about the mystery element adding into the magic and ghosts that surround our heroines really worked for me.

Once again, this does revolve more around Betty, and I did find myself missing Charlie and Fliss in places, but I loved how they work together and trust each other through this. They are great together and it's nice to see any wobbles in their relationship from the start of the series really ironed out.

It's also a really visual read (and I say this as someone with aphantasia!) - you really get a feel for being there and a sense of what the atmosphere is like. I may not have been able to picture it, but I still felt the anxiety of the chase, the chill in the air. Michelle Harrison shows her strength in her writing so strongly in this book.

There was one part of the resolution that let me down a tiny bit (I won't say what because it's a spoiler), but other than that, I loved it! Definitely a great series, and I highly recommend it to all readers.

4.5 stars.

adventurous dark mysterious tense

Another brilliant Widdershins sisters adventure. I loved the setting of this one, the creepy addition of ghosts and mysteries. 
A great read.

The adventures the three sisters have the ability to find are very interesting.
Really liked it.
