This one’s a little hard for me to review ngl. I have nothing but good things to say about it - the characters were so well written and there’s a beautifully composed contrast between Liana and Melia, giving you different perspectives about the same reality they live in and how different their lives are, but how they still connect in different ways; the way the book plays with timelines is so interesting and goes beyond simple rules and brings a more complex aspect that also affects the characters’ lives and their conflicts and how the gods also play a part in that; and the prose was truly beautiful and combined so well with how heavy the plot sometimes was.
However, I just didn’t love reading it. A lot of times I wasn’t that interested in the story and was just kinda bored, and almost had to drag myself to finish it. I did really enjoy discussing this book in the forum (shout out to all the big brains there) and I think that helped me be a little more invested in the characters and the main plot and to want to find out how everything would wrap up in the end.

Coming in pretty blind so maybe I will change my mind. But so far I kind of hate everyone including the therapist or whatever he's supposed to be. Not that gender is a factor in terms of professional qualification, but having the group lead be a guy was ...a choice. Especially when he immediately comes out of the gate kind of condescendingly chastising them for tardiness and honesty. As if their answers are not enough.

minsuni commented on requiem's review of Mad Sisters of Esi
the writing is gorgeous and prose-like; reading this book felt like i was dreaming the whole time. i especially loved the inclusion of footnotes and journal entries - it reminded me so much of Piranesi, which i enjoyed a lot!! if you enjoy parallel universes, jumping through time and space, circular narratives, and moody atmospheres, this is the book for you.
while i enjoyed the writing style, and the complexities of sisterhood depicted in the novel, i thought the magic system was a little too abstract? for my own taste. there were parts that seemed to drag on forever, particular the Esi section. it felt like the author put me in so much suspense that it left me so exhausted to figure out what was going on.
criticisms aside, i did enjoy this book overall. and if you have a sibling you are close with, you Will cry, guaranteed.
