Sistersong by Lucy Holland
Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
i tried so hard not to dnf this, but i just cant.
i found with this book that even with me only getting to 30 percent, that there is a lot of stuff that could’ve been cut to make the story feel tighter and more compact. including, sadly, Sinne and Riva’s POVs. Keyne was easily the most grounded and fleshed-out main character (although, i can concede that since he and i are both transmasculine maybe i was just drawn to him more because of that). Sinne and Riva felt very similar and from what i can tell are going to get a love-triangle plotline with some prince, and that’s just not something im interested in.
along with this, the line “the only evil i see here is intolerance” feels,,, ridiculous. it feels like a parody.
i do want to try another book by this author, Song of The Huntress, but Sistersong sadly just is not doing it for me
