There are some books that make you sit back and go “gosh, I’m so glad books exist.”
Simultaneously fresh and classical, with immersive world building and lovable characters, A Rush of Wings is more than just a Scottish retelling of the Grimm Brothers’ “The Six Swans”. It’s a beautiful urge to find inner strength, to speak truth to power, to reject the easy path.
If you’re a fan of Rebecca Ross or Hannah Whitten, I urge you to pick up this book!
