“we are born of the salt, we live by the salt, and to the salt we return.” 🌊
it’s hard to put into words just how much of a genius erin a. craig (@penchant4words) is. not only is this book based on my favourite barbie movie as a child (twelve dancing princesses!) but it’s one of my favourite reads of the year so far.
the house of salt and sorrows is the perfect balance of horror and fantasy, with a tint of romance. the descriptions of the differing island and the lavish ballrooms were unbelievably atmospheric and picturesque that i yearned to reach through the pages to experience them for myself (well, almost all of them) 👀
without saying too much, the element that stood out for me is that neither the reader nor the characters knew which events were real and which were delusion. it bought about so many twists and kept me rapidly forming theories until the very end! the epilogue was phenomenally written and left me in awe. if you pick up one book this year, make sure it’s this one.
