I don't know if I would change the rating if I reread it but since it's the first in a series I will continue when more books are released, there's a chance.

I loved all of the characters a lot!
One of the plot twists I saw coming, the other one I was totally suprised by.
The only two things that irked me a tiny bit were the dialogue of the children which seemed a bit too mature for a seven- or eight-year-old at times, and the sex scene which I could have done without and which kind of didn't really fit the vibe of the book.
Anyways, I too now want to live in a house on the coast in Norfolk (a place where according to Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, lost things are found, which I found wonderfully fitting) with witches, grumpy librarians, gay elders, a housekeeper, pets, and a lot of magic.
Moderate: Abandonment
