Only two confusing things (#2 is a spoiler): 1. If Bri literally has magic powers it’s kinda stupid how she has this “there’s no such thing as magic!” attitude every time she learns something new. You literally grew up with magic powers, why are you so doubtful of witches and spells??sebspages's review against another edition

But I’ve loved every single page of it. Even the times when I’ve felt like the descriptions dragged and took to long I still loved it. Getting to know the main character and watch her grow into her powers were amazing. The bickering within the family… It’s just hard to put int words WHY I loved this book (and I’m honestly not the best at writing reviews anyway) but I just know that I did.
When I had finished it and put it down I had literal goosebumps and I can’t wait to continue on with the series and see what will happen with everyone. How will they handle the challenges? How will Briseis and Mo handle the information they got in the end of this book? The betrayal Bri must be feeling… And what about the potential thing between Bri and Marie? Lets just say that I have so many questionmarks that I can’t wait to turn into exclemationmarks.

I loved the mix of tense action and emotional moments, and the mythology mixed with real life was really well executed.

There are some great characters and the building secrets kept me engaged for the entire book. There was a surprising amount of Greek mythology, which I am always interested in reading. The queer rep was SO cute and the ending left me with my jaw on the floor and tears in my eyes and I immediately borrowed the sequel- This Wicked Fate- audiobook from the library.
