I know that one of the main points of this story is that there’s no right or wrong side, but fuck that. I’d stand with the witches. I’d be bitter too if I were being prosecuted for being “different.”

Loved seeing the characters a bit more grown up. I really liked their dynamic with the new added cast. It was a lot of chaos and magic and love for each other. I adored the friendships and the quieter romantic moments that came to pass.

While the last volume established everyone's roles, this one delved more into morality. What is right when it comes to taking back autonomy and power? Who should get hurt or who do you hurt to regain that control? A lot of prevelant discussions occur in the book about the good, the bad, and the in between. Should we only see the world in black and white? Is there room for nuance and forgiveness?

Oh, I think I liked this one better than the first one! That Damien and Will storyline just got to me. And it felt like the stakes were really upped here, even if the plot is difficult to follow at some points. With that cliffhanger ending, though, I'm definitely glad I also checked out volume three!

The art style is still fun, I love the overall vibes it gives off. There are also a lot of fairytale elements sort of woven into the story, but they take a different path than you might expect. All in all, this is just a fun series and I can't wait to see where it goes next!

It was so good! The plot was plotting, I read it in like 2 days.

omg I’m going to die about Monica and Dorian, they are so perfect. Also if Damien and William don’t kiss I’ll be so mad…. I’m worried about Dani because she thinks Dorian is dead and I think her evil magic is going to take her over
