Off the coast of Ireland sits a legendary island hidden by magic. A place of ruins and ancient trees, sea-salt air and fairy lore, Hy-Brasil is the only home Biddy has ever known. Washed up on its shore as a baby, Biddy lives a quiet life with her guardian, the mercurial magician Rowan. A life she finds increasingly stifling.

One night, Rowan fails to return from his mysterious travels. To find him, Biddy must venture into the outside world for the first time. But Rowan has powerful enemies—forces who have hoarded the world’s magic and have set their sights on the magician’s many secrets.

Biddy may be the key to stopping them. Yet the closer she gets to answers, the more she questions everything she’s ever believed about Rowan, her past, and the nature of magic itself.

Loved it.

I loved it so much! This goes on my "favourite books" list. I liked the plot, the characters (especially Biddy and Hutchincroft), and the writing; and I was hooked from the very beginning. I hope there'll be a sequel one day. <3

Mar 2 2024: breath of fresh air. Loved the character and world building. Major Howl’s Moving Castle Vibes. Studio Ghibli-esque if you will. Loved the bond between Biddy and Rowan. Wanted to see more of their dynamic— especially towards the end. Slow in some places but found I didn’t mind. Fast read— only took me so long because of work lol.
