Sinossi
Per quattordici, lunghi anni Poppy Hopper ha cercato di ingannare tutti, persino se stessa. Ha finto di essere una ragazza come tante, mentre i gatti la seguivano ovunque, i ragni tessevano tele complicate intorno a lei e gli elementi della natura sembravano rispondere al suo volere. Anche Ember Hawkweed ha sempre fatto di tutto pur di sentirsi normale: una normalissima strega come le altre. Ma se le sue amiche eccellevano nelle arti magiche, creando pozioni e incantesimi, lei riusciva solo a preparare unguenti e bolle di sapone. Quando Poppy ed Ember si incontrano, però, le cose cambiano. Le due ragazze capiscono subito di essere più simili di quanto avrebbero mai potuto immaginare. Entrambe sanno di non appartenere al mondo in cui vivono, ed entrambe vogliono scoprire la verità. Chi sono realmente? Quale legame misterioso le unisce? Insieme, Poppy ed Ember sono pronte a qualsiasi cosa pur di trovare le risposte che cercano. Anche ad affrontare una pericolosa profezia che affonda le radici nella notte dei tempi.

Wow! This was a mesmerizing and magical twisty witchy tale that had a unique voice and a well structured plot. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The Hawkweed Prophecy is quite an impressive read. It felt like one of those books that just … knows what it’s doing. It felt clear-minded, and precise, and focused. And if the above statement made exactly 0.00001% sense to you, please allow me to explain. Going into this novel, I honestly did not h Leggi tutto
2.5 Stars Read all my reviews on http://urlphantomhive.booklikes.com You would think that after all this time, people would know to do anything with prophecies, because it never works the way you planned. However, in The Hawkweed Prophecy, it has been prophecised that in 303 years, a daughter of a H Leggi tutto
I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. This review might seem all over the place, but that's because the book was kind of all over the place. The beginning of this book was beautiful. I loved the writing and I absolutely loved all the talk of magic and two mothers loving Leggi tutto
