dark reflective fast-paced

2.5

The writing was good, I won't deny that. My problem is in the same area many other reviewers mentioned: the second half doesn't resonate, and it's very anti-men disguised as "feminism". This would have been more powerful for me if it had left some of that out and focused more on the healing and uplifting one another/themselves that women are trying to do. And I think that could still have been done with the fairytale elements woven through.

This book felt like someone softly whispered “Lumos” from within a room that had been dark too long. Then, there was not just light, but fireworks. In other words, magic.
