I’ve never experienced a book that feels like a painting, but this is that feeling.

The plot development, the prose, the strong distinction between good and evil.

You have to be able to move with the magic of it. Leave the realism behind.

My rating is actually more like 3.5. This was an interesting read, and it was refreshing to read about witches and magic from a perspective that is entirely divorced from Harry Potter or the kind of magic you see with the Fae. This is the brand of magic that's more natural, a magic that is a gift to some humans and is governed by will as much as anything else.

Spoiler

The bit about the Living Star read kind of weirdly to me and I would have preferred a better resolution.

Nevertheless, the themes of family and determination in the face of destiny were well incorporated and explored.
