The self-indulgent sarcastic prose was entertaining at first but quickly got old. All of the characters are annoying and I couldn't bring myself to care about any of them.

I'm rating this 5 stars. I don't give a fuck what less sleep deprived me will think after discussion and analysis tomorrow but right after having finished this in a single sitting of 14 hours, it feels like a 5 star. The magic system definitely did feel a bit unexplained and it did bother me but who gives a shit. The book was fucking good.
Honestly, no notes. Fucking loved it. A lot of times, the lines hit so fucking hard and were so fucking real that I literally highlighted them and marked them with nothing but 'words' as a note. Because the words were just. Ugh.
Every single sibling had something that was so painfully relatable and were so profoundly unlikable but could also be so fucking endearing if you just continued reading. Gillian is my goat. She deserves the world. The way she was so down bad she threw up is amazing and I wish to love just like that. Have so many other thoughts. Will update later.

I came expecting Succession, but with magic, and that's the first half (so everyone kind of sucks), but then I got a book about messily starting to heal from generational trauma. Which surprisingly also kind of worked.
