All of Rowenna's life she has dreamed of fulfilling her role within her Scottish village by being the local craft maker- or what the village people call her- witch. But her mom, Mairead does not believe Rowenna is ever ready to tap into her craft and the magic within her. But when a strong storm leads the death of Mairead, Rowenna is left to figure out how to use her power without her mother's help. Soon after, Mairead is on her doorstep, not dead. But Rowenna senses foul play, and knows that whatever thing entered her home, is not her mother and possibly the most dangerous thing she'll ever encounter.
In A Rush of Wings I enjoyed the lush setting of Scotland that I got transported to and go to be apart of, it really seemed beautiful- the rolling hills and the stony cliffs! The main character, Rowenna, had spunk and I found a lot of myself in her which I enjoyed. For me, the overall pacing just seemed slow and didn't really have a sense of purpose, it was a very character driven plot and focused more on the character development and relationships which isn't always something I am interested in.
