a gorgeous, dreamy adventure by someone who clearly loves fairytales and understands what makes them magic. At its heart, it's a tale of family and sisterhood, of friendships and self-belief. I adored the sibling dynamic between Rowan and her younger sister Lila. As an older sister myself, I can relate to their sometimes contentious relationship as Lila wants to be involved in everything Rowan does, even following her into the dangerous Witchwood in search of their lost mother. I also loved the growing friendship between Rowan and Farid and the acknowledgement that sometimes we need to save each other. Into the Witchwood has such a timeless quality - it's like coming home. Congratulations @meabh90! You've written an absolute stunner and I can't wait for other people to enjoy the adventure when the book comes out early next yearP.s. if I didn't give you enough reasons to read the book, there's also an extremely sassy talking cat who often steals the show!
