I enjoyed the themes, like the politics and dynamics at play among the covens and witchy parts of society, but the plot really didn't wow me. It was a little boring.

The book has LGBTQ and BIPOC rep but I would have liked for Theo to play a bigger, more active part in the story.

I listened to the audiobook and Aiofe McMahon is a favorite narrator so that helped get me through the book when the story dragged.

I had more hopes for this one. It is strong regarding transgender politics and belonging in the magic world. But the magic was so limited it didn't pull me far enough out of reality to enjoy it. This would be more enjoyed by a lover of women's literature driven by characters instead of plot. The first half was fairly boring. Maybe the last 25% plot really started happening. I'll probably listen to book 2 because of Nicola, but Nicola would be the main reason I push through.

This book is very much Girls Hanging Out until the One Big Fight and then everything's cool again until the last chapter that sets up the plot of the second book

This is a hard one. The TERF having a POV was hard to read. I also wish there was more world building/more time with the magic system. But I enjoyed it.
