Ink Blood Sister Scribe

Emma Törzs2023
For generations, the Kalotay family has guarded a collection of rare and dangerous books. Books that let a person walk through walls, or borrow someone else's face; books of magic. Now, Joanna Kalotay lives alone in the woods of Vermont, their library's sole protector, while her estranged older half-sister, Esther moves between countries and jobs, constantly changing, never staying anywhere for longer than a year, desperate to avoid the dangerous magic that killed her own mother. She is currently working as an electrician on a research base in Antarctica where she has found love. Maybe, finally, she feels free. But when someone on-base begins using magic, Esther realizes that she can't outrun her family's legacy. The long-separated sisters must work together to unravel the secrets their parents kept hidden, secrets that span centuries and continents, and even other libraries...

Ink Blood Sister Scribe weaves seemlessly a unique fantasy world with all the suspense of a thriller, as we follow two estranged sisters crossing oceans and magical portals in order to seek the truth behind a centuries old secret.

It is a transformative and spellbinding read that constantly kept me guessing through all the twists and revelations!

It's got magic, books, complicated family dynamics and secrets all tied together in a plot that plays out slowly, keeping you desperate to see how it all ties together, while never wanting it to end.

A captivating and fully immersive book about magical books that makes you long to reside amongst its pages.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
