Title: A Feather of Stone
Author: Cate Tiernan
Quick Synopsis: (taken from Goodreads)
After seventeen-year-old Thais Allard loses her widowed father in a tragic car accident, she is forced to leave the only home she's ever known to live with a total stranger in New Orleans. New Orleans greets Thais with many secrets and mysteries, but none as unbelievable as the moment she comes face to face with the impossible -- an identical twin, Clio. Thais soon learns that she and the twin she never knew come from a family of witches, that she possesses astonishing powers, and that she, along with Clio, has a key role in Balefire, the coven she was born into. Fiery Clio is less than thrilled to have to share the spotlight, but the twins must learn to combine their powers in order to complete a rite that will transform their lives and the coven forever.
General Thoughts: So much better than the first two books. I have to say, Cate Tiernan's writing has really improved throughout the course of the series.
My Favourite Part: The action. And the further weaving of backstory to aid the reader in further empathizing with the characters. (That's just fancy talk for me loving, again, the histories of her characters that Tiernan has slowly revealed to us one tantalizing piece at a time.)
My Least Favourite Part: There's a certain specific thing that I realized that kinda weirded me out for a while. (I can't tell you what it is because then I'll be spoiling the book, so you'll just have to read it for yourself to find out what I'm talking about.)
Scale of 1 to 10: 7.0
