Praise for Flights of MarigoldPublishers Lunch Buzz Books 2020 selectionForest skillfully uses her fantasy setting to spin a tale of addiction and familial loyalty.-Publishers WeeklyA definite twist to the fantasy genre is that while the logical consistency of the magic is there the book (and series) is meant to focus on addiction and its many incarnations.
