Foolish love appears to be a Roux family birthright. And for Ava Lavender, a girl born with the wings of a bird, it is an ominous thing to inherit. In her quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to join her peers, sixteen-year-old Ava ventures into the wider world. But it is a dangerous world for a naive girl.
This is, I think the first book of magical realism that I am reading. Or at least, the first book of magical realism of which, I know that it is magical realism. Okay with that being said, I think I really want to discover more from this genre.
This book contains a story of loss and love that spans different generations. When I started the book I didn't know where it was going to go. It was different from what I expected from the synopsis, but it was even better than I expected it.
The characters were so lovely (except for a couple). I especially loved Rowe, such an intelligent, sweet boy.
The writing style was great, the story itself beautiful and the characters absolutely lovely. I would definitely recommend this!
