Review:
What an odd, but interesting book this was.

There's a weird and mysterious atmosphere in this book that I absolutely love. I really enjoyed reading about the island, the rituals of the people living there and their way of seeing the world. I also really enjoyed reading about the sisters and their relationships with each other, I thought that part was fascinating.

I think the writing is beautiful and it creates such an interesting ambience, but it also veils the story in a way where I constantly felt like I couldn't quite see clearly and the more I read, the more annoying it got. There is a lot to this story that I don't really understand and maybe we're not supposed to, but a lot of it sort of feels feels like a dream that I can't quite grasp.

It's not a book I necessarily felt utterly compelled to keep reading and it was slightly underwhelming, but it was interesting enough.
