listening to the audiobook with the amazing work of nicola coughlan made this book even better, she gave so much life to the characters (who were already great, so different from each other and recognizable)
the story was amazing, i love how we get all the pov's, so we also "understand" the antagonist and why they did what they did. it really felt like a slice of life, chill story of a witch trying to understand who she is, meet new friends, etc and then on the other side it was "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD IF I DON'T DO ANYTHING". i loved the contrast 
also the fact that there's kids who learn about their powers ?? teenagers becoming friends and the adults looking out for them idk it really felt like a family, an upgrade on the found family the adults already had. it was so cute

This had some turns and it is quite descriptive. I would take caution at the accuracy of the TERF and transphobic characters. It is necessary to the plot but it is ugly. On a more positive note, this is such a beautiful story and world. The realness of some themes and connection to reality is sad but that also means the love, hope and fighting to be who you are is true/ worth it.

softpinksky's review against another edition

I just want my fantasy book to not have transphobia, even if written by a trans person.
