A Sea of Pearls & Leaves by Rosalyn Briar
5.0
Princess Ingrid does not want to get married, so her girlfriend Lilura devises a plan, but when the plan backfires, a contest amongst her suitors ensues!
'A Sea of Pearls & Leaves' broke through my reading slump in the first couple of pages. Rosalyn's writing is so rich and atmospheric that I immediately felt drawn into the shadowy caverns and could smell the sea salt of Norella Isle.
This is a story that has stuck with me! I'll be wandering around, and then suddenly I think about the meaning behind 'this' aspect of Soren's personality, and how it contrasts with 'that' of another character's. I cannot wait until I can discuss this book in more detail with others, because I have so many thoughts about it.
Without giving too much away, I was struck by the twist on the love triangle trope, and the ending of the story. I loved all three of the main characters, and appreciated how there was no sense of 'blame' or 'right and wrong' amongst the main characters when it came to their feelings and desires.
I really loved this book!
