Thoughts 💭
The unique magic system is what piqued my interest when I read the description for this book on NetGalley. The idea that gems can be imbued with magic that will heighten different types of talents in people, then be passed down through generations. It was something I've never heard of!
Although I was in love with the idea of Talents, it quickly took a backseat to Cleo and her story. To be a girl that wants to do everything to help set up her and her sister for a better life. But to then experience the reality of hard decisions. I did not expect to be so consumed by Cleo’s feelings.
I started this book wanting to hold and protect Cleo, to give her advice to make better decisions going forward. Then I turned into a proud parent as she lays everything on the line to fix her story and change the narrative for others. The ending was a beautiful way to experience the closing out of Cleo’s story.
I'm honestly so thankful I took a chance on a cool description and a gorgeous cover because as a reader I feel lighter and happier after finishing this book!
