I really enjoyed this one and it is a fun quick read. There are several women from lots of different backgrounds who all come together on a quest to find an item, as well as the last witch to complete their coven. The villain is very bad and (CW) sexually assaults people by messing with their ability to consent, and I feel like the book doesn't deal with that, or even acknowledge it. Tbf, the main characters don't really know it, but it feels like that aspect is underwritten. There were a few questions I had about the plot or world building, but I was able to put them aside and just appreciate the book.
