It was an overall good book, I really liked the magic system. The twist at the end had it dropping a bit in rating though, it was a great twist but had it moving into a genre I'm not super into.

Was an enjoyable read and I've already started the second book. I really wish the story was a little more developed than it was but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

A slow-burn witchy academic fantasy laced with betrayal, manipulation, and familial trauma. Willow is rage and resilience incarnate. Her devotion to Ash is everything. And Alaric? The kind of enemy you hate to love, until he makes sure you regret both. This book cut deep — and I’m still waiting for Book 2 to cauterize the wound.

The Coven starts slow but leaves scars. Willow is pure fury, Alaric is the betrayal you did not see coming but still weren’t ready for , and the ending? Cutthroat. This is dark magic with teeth — and I’m still bleeding.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the writing style. I love the story between Willow and Gray! Definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and wondering what would happen. I did NOT see that kind of an ending coming in the last 30 pages!

The magic in this is fascinating, but there wasn’t enough. The overall story could’ve been developed more.
