A review by jazzrizz
Jilo by J.D. Horn

3.0

I really appreciated a look back at Jilo's history. It surprised me how far back the book went. Jilo's just a baby at the beginning ... and already she has a pretty bumpy start.

I loved the history of the Wills' line, and how intertwined the familes are. The historical elements were a nice surprise, and probably my favorite parts of the book. There's not as much magic in this book ...
Spoiler and I'm still not quite sure how Jilo got so good at magic
.

There weren't too many surprises in this, but there were a couple of unexpected developments in the story. Overall, I'm glad to get a glimpse in Jilo's history ... but it lefting me wanting a bit more at the end.
