A review by bibliovino
Bridge of Ash by Jacquelyn Benson
4.0
This installment in the Charismatics series takes a serious turn, but that’s endemic to the nature of the historical period. England has just entered into World War II and the long line of peace in the empire is coming to an end. This loss of innocence is plunging the entire continent into chaos, and someone is profiting from it.
Lily and Strangford should be worrying over wedding venues and champagne choices, but instead they find themselves embroiled in a murder investigation, with a killer who may be gifted as they are and an investigator bent on pointing the finger in their direction. How can they prove that the culprit isn’t something easily understood.
I am absolutely here for the dark turn we’re taking with Lily this time around. England is changing irrecoverably and she is at the edge of it with her precognition. Her talent is increasing and she’s not always sure how she should use it. Watching her lean in and at the same time away from it is riveting. The beautiful relationship she has with Strangford is never easy, but oh so satisfying. I love the conjecture about the gifts of saints and legends and how the truth is that they were also gifted with strange abilities. And watching Lily deal with her grief over her mentor is heart wrenching.
