Nachdem ich im Januar 2025 zwei meiner 7 ausgewählten SuB – Bücher von meiner Januar TBR Liste gelesen habe, wobei ich mir mehr erhofft hatte, habe ich für Februar meine Liste noch einmal ein wenig ausgetauscht.
Zwei von den Büchern habe ich Ende Januar bereits begonnen und die nehme ich natürlich in den nächsten Monat mit. Nun bin ich gespannt, welche der Bücher ich noch lesen oder beginnen werde.

Game of Thrones meets The Name of the Wind in this exuberant, character-driven epic fantasy.
Every year, prophecy leaves fall from the Yubriy Tree. And every year, the Dayborn king sends his most trusted servants to collect the leaves and return them to the capital.
Only this year, one of the leaves drifted into the forest unseen.
Three lives will be forever changed by the undetected prophecy leaf.
The strong-willed daughter of a powerful family. The mysterious and reviled half brother of the king. And a talented but unlucky musician, desperate to write the song that will bring him good fortune.

In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.
But when the Eastwood sisters--James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna--join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote-and perhaps not even to live-the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive.
There's no such thing as witches. But there will be.
