4.0

An enjoyable, fast-paced read, especially at the end. The descriptions of magic, friendship and sisterhood felt alive and leapt of the page. Part coming of age novel - a young girl finding freedom and falling in love for the first time in her life despite years of abuse - part magical realism, part mystery. There were lots of twists and turns that made me want to carry on reading.

This was way darker than I thought it would be and definitely needed trigger warnings.

4.5 stars.

Slow to start, but once the story picked up I didn't want to put the book down.

Intoxicating magic, compelling twists and turns, fallacies tucked into corners and dramatically exposed at the last minute. I cannot wait for the sequel.

If you love urban fantasies, complex relationships and intricate plots - then this is for you!
