Mother of Pearl

Mother of Pearl Book Review

Mother of Pearl by Blanka H. Madow follows Valeri, who discovers her ancestral power after being separated from her sister in a foreign land. The book offers descriptive world-building; slow, but promising, character development; and evocative writing with morally grey themes. The story leaves readers wanting more and holds great potential for the series.
