sweet and bitter magic by adrienne tooley

But Wren never went because she hid her source magic. Sources, like witches, must live Within, i.e., the Witchwood. They sense other magic, and witches can draw power from them. Sources are pretty much magic I don’t know how else to explain it. We have Wren, a source-a person who holds magic but cannot use it. I find that I was satisfied with some aspects, but I was disappointed in others. So, when considering the aspects of Sweet & Bitter Magic, I thought about how Adrienne Tooley pulled off a standalone fantasy novel centered on a sapphic romance. On one hand, witches and sapphics! But on the other hand, I don’t usually read standalone fantasy novels (especially if they are high fantasy) because I find it challenging to wrap up a story like that in one book. I went into Sweet & Bitter Magic with somewhat mysterious expectations. People always assumed that the stories were exaggerated, that the truth was not nearly so terrible, when in fact the opposite was true. Of course, love bargains are a tricky thing, and these two have a long, perilous journey ahead of them-that is, if they don't kill each other first. To save him, Wren proposes a bargain: if Tamsin will help her catch the dark witch responsible for creating the plague, then Wren will give Tamsin her love for her father. When a magical plague ravages the queendom, Wren’s father falls victim. Sources are required to train with the Coven as soon as they discover their abilities, but Wren-the only caretaker to her ailing father-has spent her life hiding her secret. Wren is a source-a rare kind of person who is made of magic, despite being unable to use it herself. The only way she can get those feelings back-even for just a little while-is to steal love from others. But after committing the worst magical sin, she’s exiled by the ruling Coven and cursed with the inability to love.
