A Crown of Ivy and Glass by Claire Legrand
4.0
This follows Gemma Ashbourne, a beautiful and rich daughter of her family. However, she has a body that reacts negatively to magic, constantly fighting pain and being ill unlike her sisters who have amazing abilities with no pain. Not only that, her relationship with her father is not great, her mother had abandoned them, and her sisters has their own situations to deal with.
She also meets Talan d'Astier, an attractive person who she works with to destroy the Basks, whom their family has a blood feud with.
Throughout the novel, secrets gets uncovered, lies discovered, a romance that grows, and curses that unravel in the storyline and plot.
Overall, the beginning was slow paced but then it started picking up speed. There were a lot of twists and turns that made me wonder what else will be revealed. It was interesting to know more about Gemma's illness towards magic since I was looking for more answers to that as well. I did not like Talan much though so I am hoping there would be a good character development for him.
