‘Ink Blood Sister Scribe’ by Emma Törzs. Another mystical-sounding title. Because we all need more ink, blood, and sisters scribbling in our lives. The cover features a plant and a dagger bleeding ink—how original. Seriously, it’s like they went through the “Magic Novel Cover Checklist” and ticked every box. Dark background? Check. Intricate floral design? Check. Vague, poetic words mashed together to sound deep and mysterious? Triple check.

The Good Morning America Book Club pick sticker is a nice touch, though. Because nothing screams “must-read” like daytime television endorsements. And Marlon James says it’s extraordinary, so it must be, right? Who am I kidding, this book is probably filled with overly complex prose and characters who speak in riddles.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ Summary: “Ink Blood Sister Scribe” attempts to captivate with its dark, mystical aesthetic and promises of magical intrigue. Perfect for those who enjoy literary spells and endless metaphors. Just be ready for a lot of poetic vagueness.
