Reads like an episode of Supernatural. A pretty good episode, but junk tv all the same.

An enjoyable, if occasionally predictable, story. The world created was very immersive and the magic system was explained well so it never felt like having to learn complex rules. At points plot felt a bit too reliant on twist reveals that were sometimes predictable, but it was still entertaining. The worldbuilding was probably my favourite element of the book, with the relationship between Elena and Edith a close second. They were both very well-written and believe-able and their relationship was very easy to root for. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for books with good wlw representation, especially if you're interested in lgbt historical fiction.
