The Brilliant Death by A.R. Capetta

3.0

I love the premise of this book - a genderfluid strega who can literally transform into male and female forms. The Italian folklore element was really cool too. But the writing felt a bit off at some points. At one point, a major character died and it was really unclear - I had to go back and reread the page to check. There were several points like this. It's a cool fantasy and I love the genderbending aspect, but I had trouble getting into it and sticking with it.
