i started reading this on a whim and i am so glad i did. sacrilege by t. n. vitus is a novel about finding yourself and not letting anyone damn you otherwise. i saw myself in this: emelie's and her mother's relationship, her curiosity suppressed by older generations too rigid in their beliefs to consider anything else, emelie's and halvar's relationship and how they love each other whilst healing from personal traumas.

-There are some small inconsistencies at times (ex. The “dead of winter” coming before the solstice; characters  eating dinner after dark but then later in the scene it’s before curfew, an hour before sundown) but overall the writing is enjoyable and the plot is satisfying
