I loved the narrator! 
The story is very wholesome, reminds me of the secret society of irregular witches, maybe even better:)

I liked the book. Thought it was well done. But definitely wasn’t as good as the hype. But well done characters and a good moral.

Oh my gosh! THIS BOOK! I'm so happy I read it! It made me feel happy and yet there was a time when my eyes burned due to the tears in my eyes. I loved all our main characters! EVERY. SINGLE. ONE! I was so unwell after I finished it. Heartbroken even. I love this book so much! 🥰😥

This book does tackle themes of discrimination and prejudice. And how rhetoric like that can shape the individuals as well as the society affected by it.

I enjoyed this book, but found the dialogue rather stilted and preachy.
