+ cute story and main characters
+ interesting family dynamic
+ women being kind to other women
- cardboard side characters
- cartoon villain
- low on magic

There are no sudden twists or reveals in this story, but it doesn't really need it. It's a cute story about family and finding yourself, with some comments on capitalism and the patriarchy.
Loved the ending, and the interactions between Lucky and her grandma Stella made this book a pleasure to listen to.
