This has been on my tbr shelf for quite a while, just waiting for the spooky/witchy months, and it honestly did not disappoint. The writing is beautiful and the atmosphere that Rachel Griffen created was perfect fall vibes. I loved the idea of witches being tied to a specific season and breaking the book up by season really helped to see how Clara changed during them. Everyone needs a Sang in their lives. There’s also a cat so that’s automatically a win. Definitely slower paced and a bit repetitive at times, but not to a point that it bothered me enough to stop reading it, if that makes sense. Overall, a very wholesome, well put-together, cozy, fall read that I definitely recommend!

adventurous emotional inspiring

5.0

My favourite witchy read this year! The magic system was very unique and I loved it a lot! You have Spring, Summer, Autumn/Fall and Winter witches who come with their own seasonal powers. The protagonist Clara is an Everwitch which means her powers and magic go beyond one season. She is powerful all year around.
 It's an YA book, a genre I usually don't read, but it was so well done! The writing style was beautiful and the characters were loveable and I very much enjoyed getting to know them better. I also really appreciated Paige's words to Clara in chapter 36, since Clara slightly annoyed me sometimes.
