That was so fun! Ms. Dimaline writes great women, great mystical and great stories. This was a whole lot of all of these, which I read by audio book. Ordinarily, I make myself wait til I'm driving to listen to these but I just couldn't turn it off! Thank you for writing this great story! I hope their journey continues.

Lucky St. James lives with her grandmother, Stella, in a Toronto apartment that they face being evicted from. One night, Lucky feels drawn to a hidden passage in her apartment building, where she finds a spoon. Unbeknownst to Lucky, that spoon is the key to her future full of some amazing characters who have long been awaiting her retrieval of the spoon. The coven that waits for Lucky is made up of a group of diverse women from different backgrounds. It was nice to see the inclusivity in this book. The journey is a long one, so hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

Full disclosure: this book had a super slow plot start for me, so I had trouble getting into it. Stick it out though, because I ended up loving it.

4.5 (rounded up) out of 5 stars.

I received a free ARC from the author and NetGalley; and I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased review.

The concept of this book was really amazing. Sometimes, the writing lived up to the books possibility. Sometimes, it absolutely didn’t. The pacing was very weird!
