Book description
Dear Diary,
October 12th, 7:15 PM
Just finished Blood over Bright Haven on audiobook-couldn't stop listening until the last word. The narrator's voice? Perfect. Deep, quiet, with just the right edge of weariness for Sciona, that fierce first woman in the High Magistry. You could feel her exhaustion, her quiet rage, as she scrubbed floors instead of casting spells.
I'd read the blurb, but hearing it narrated? Chills. When Sciona finally cracks the conspiracy-about magic's true cost, how the privileged keep the poor in chains-it wasn't just a plot twist. It was like watching a dam break. Booklist called it "thought-provoking," and they weren't kidding. It's Babel meets magic system with a heart that won't stop beating.
But the real magic? The janitor. That quiet man, once a hunter, now scrubbing floors. His backstory hit me like a punch-how he'd lost his tribe, how he saw the system breaking his people. Their slow trust, the way he'd just look at Sciona when she raged, wasn't just romance. It was two outsiders realizing they were both fighting the same war. I almost spilled my coffee when he finally spoke his truth.
The audiobook made it all visceral. You heard the scrape of brooms, the hushed arguments in the Magistry halls, the way Sciona's voice would drop when she thought no one was listening. And that ending? That moment when they realize their secret could rewrite magic forever? I sat there in silence, heart pounding. Not because it was shocking-but because it felt true.
Elle called it a best book of the year for a reason. It's not just fantasy; it's a mirror. It made me think about the "janitors" in my own world-people whose stories get scrubbed away. Sciona and her quiet ally? They're not just saving magic. They're saving the idea of it.
I'll be listening again. And next time, I'll have my notebook ready.
