This book was soo good. I really loved the first one but this one really got into some of the things that were bugging me in first one. The characters are very well written in my opinion (sometimes annoyingly so but they are 16/17 so it makes sense). I really loved the discussion of pronouns and gender and the witchy plot.

me reading this in less than a day would imply that its amazing. however it is simply the most bizarre story ever, especially considering that legit nothing happens in the first 200 pages. could have skipped them and saved myself some time
the potential of this series is so good however the writing really lets it down. she was shagged into being psychic??? huh??? big up this writer for giving me and abi something to piss ourselves at and we will for sure be reading the next book when its out but the series is just so bizarre... first book was defo better
