I just love myself some magic, little witches, a pup called Circe, sunshines and rainbows and this book is all that!
I loved Mika and the little children and loved the exploration of loneliness and past trauma and finding safe homes and it has that satisfying feeling of being happy seeing good things happen to good people. It is a very sweet book, sometimes too sweet so be aware you are probably dipping your spoon in a jar of sugar.
I have a few gripes with this book like Jamie, the love interest whom I did not like as much as the other characters, while the book is the grumpy sunshine trope notched up to an infinite level, there was not enough development leading to the romance here.. and the final revelation was something that I can only describe as a little bitter. The wam fuzzy feelings of 80% of the book made for the rest for me.
