Weyward by Emilia Hart

5.0

Another March Book of the Month, that with its cover lured most like the light attracts a moth. And from this perspective, I will approach this, because I was one of them! Fortunately, Netgalley allowed me to listen to the audiobook before I even received the books (I mean, it takes 7 days to deliver to FL!). I was enchanted. This book was everything I did not expect it to be. I thought it'll be a multigenerational connection between women and the events in their lives at that time. With of course some magic because why not. I got it. I got this and more. Emilia Hart gave those women voice, story, and personality. All of them pop out with their sense of powerlessness and strength and how they overcome it. They bring natural sensitivity as a strength, not as a weakness. There is no unnecessary drama, just feelings that might surface in situations they struggle with. I loved how different they were and how connected at the same time. I loved this theme of otherworldly connection to ancestors so much that I am not sad that I got the book after I finish it because I will be coming back to it!
