But before she could learn how to control her power, her mother - the first Roe woman in centuries to turn her back on magic - steals Avery away from her grandmother. Avery must escape before her grandmother dies, taking with her the secrets of the Roe's power.The one magical remnant left to Avery is the ability to read dreams, and one night she foresees her own murder.

Girl why are you so damned focused on being a witch. You don't even know how the process works 🙄Initial Thoughts:Salt & Storm was a pleasure to read. I loved the author's writing and her attention to details of the period made this book an enjoyable read. The ReviewBe sure to check out Badass Book Reviews where Christal and I discuss the book.Thank you to NetGalley and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers for a review copy of this book.
An Electronic Advanced Reader Copy was provided by the publisher via Edelweiss for review.I am sorry book, it's not you, it's me. Your writing is very beautiful and I do love the setting, but the main character's hatred toward her own mother is a little too much for me to handle. I'm guessing she just wants to protect her, but she's a teenager and doesn't see that. Also, she fell for him rather quickly, I can't do instant love at the moment. Also, I wanted to see more magic happening, but that
9/11/14: I am NOT OKAY WITH THIS ENDING. RTCThank you Netgalley for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest opinion!After a not so good string of ARCs, I was wary of Salt and Storm. BUT NO. I WAS WRONG. For a debut novel, this was actually really good! There are some things here and there that can be improved, but overall, it was a great read. Seriously, 400 pages have never flown by faster. FIRST OFF, THIS TAKES PLACE IN MASSACHUSETTS. Yay home state! Woop woop. I'm not sure what the exact date was,
I dont know what the people of my island will make of my story, the story of the end of the Roes. Will they blame me when their ships splinter? Will they remember that I fought for years against my mother, that I tried to go home and set it all right? Will any of them know that I gave up all of it- magic, my own life, and their livelihood- for a tattooed harpoon boy? And that sentence, my friends, is where the problem lies within this story.Avery Roe is destined to be the last Roe Witch of
This is the first standalone fantasy that Ive read in a while, and boy has it impressed me. Kulper, youve got me as a fan as long as you keep writing as you do.I dont care for whales. Im not heartless, but Im not willing to hug a tree either. Im in middle ground. I believe in progression, to an extent, and I certainly do not believe in regression. I had no preconceived ideas before I received this book. When I did do a quick background check, read the synopsis, I chanced upon this common theme
I was kind of disappointed with this story, but at the same time I have to admit that it was original and the fact that it didn't go the way I thought it would was interesting. I'm only disappointed because it didn't have the traditional happy ending but it's still cool to see an author explore a different type of ending.
