Re-read 'cause I was obsessed with this book as a teenager (I still have it at home) and realized I never finished the series, so I'm gonna give it a go. Still a great YA fantasy with a bit of mystery, it has always seemed to me as a pretty mature book given the audience it 's directed to. Some parts were predictable but it might be 'cause even if I haven't read it for years I still remember things

This book was truly awful. Kept waiting for the girls to finally band together and have each other’s backs… nope! They are horrifically mean to each other the entire book, the plot barely exists, and you never grow to really love (or even like) any of them. Light on witchcraft and nonexistent on friendship or hope. Huge bummer.

Major trigger warnings for suicide, EDs, self harm, and bullying.
