Review

This was too much of a slooooow burn for me. It just seems like nothing was really happening with the plot, I almost DNF this but then the story picked up, I grew more invested in the characters, especially the gargoyle…🥹 I did not think I could love a side character as much as I loved this one, but here we are! I am absolutely sure that fantasy lovers will love this book. It was unique and extremely well written. The world building was rich and immersive. I just wish there were more interactions between Six and Rory. I didn’t get as much of him as I would have liked.

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 1 in the The Stonewater Kingdom Series.

“When you do the right thing for the wrong reason, no one praises you. When you do the wrong thing for the right reason, everyone does, even though what is right and wrong depends entirely on the story you’re living in. And no one says they need recognition or praise or love, but we all hunger for it. We all want to be special.”

“If you only ever look up at something, can you ever see it clearly?”

From BookTok sensation and NYT bestselling author Rachel Gillig, comes the next big romantasy phenomenon: a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a prophetess who is forced beyond the safety of her cloister on an impossible quest to defeat the gods with the one knight whose future is beyond her sight.

Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum’s windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams.

Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil’s visions. But when Sybil’s fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral’s cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she’d rather avoid Rodrick’s dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.
