Summary: "The Girl Who Grew Wings" by Anna Waterworth is a young adult fantasy novel that intertwines elements of Greek mythology with themes of sisterhood, empowerment, and resilience. The narrative centers on twin sisters, Icari and Sephie, who navigate a world where the gods bestow unique gifts upon select individuals. Icari is recognized as a Healer, while Sephie is mistakenly assigned as an Embalmer, despite her latent alchemical talents—a secret they must conceal, as possessing dual abilities is a capital offense. Their bond is tested when demons from the Underworld abduct Sephie, prompting Icari to embark on a perilous journey to rescue her sister, even if it means defying divine boundaries.
