3.0

The characters that alternate as narrators are all pretty diverse, but I got pretty annoyed that almost every chapter made a point to label something as problematic. The final .... Fight(?) Was a pretty big disappointment for how it was being built up, and the final twist felt like it contradicted the magic system and plot.

I found the ending a bit disappointing and somewhat unsatisfying. It’s like we’re set up for the second book to finish the story.

Omg! This book was slow to start but by the end I was pulling my hair out it was so good. So many new questions popped up in the last few chapters. I will definitely be reading the sequel!

I gave it 4 stars because I loved some of the characters and hated others, which shows it was good writing. There was a lot of tension and I loved the world building. I want to know more about the witches’ history. 

I didn’t give it 5 stars because the pacing at the beginning took some getting used to. It was a bit slow to start.
