I thoroughly enjoyed the author’s The Vine Witch, and this book was no less enjoyable. No gratuitous sex or violence, or foul language. It is fantasy I think anyone can enjoy. Magical people live somewhat accepted lives with the mundanes. And it is the magical people this story is about. Primarily Mary and Edwina, twins with “gifts.” One collects corpse lights of the dying, the other is able to see valuables in the mud of low tide. And can shape shift to a Raven.

 

I found this an enjoyable story, well told, and liked the characters I was supposed to like, and not so much the others. A pleasant read on a rainy day, or a beach day. I eagerly anticipate The Raven Song—book two in this series due October 2022.
