Gifted & Talented

Olivie Blake tends to be a hit or miss for me – but this one? It hit hard. Her writing style is intriguing, and she has such an unconventional way with words. This isn't your typical action-packed fantasy adventure; instead, it's a character study, exploring the dynamics between these siblings and their loved (and hated) ones. Each one of them is an asshole in their own (magical) way, but I still couldn’t help to love them all. And, of course, there's a sprinkle of apocalypse thrown in for good measure.
