This book was the biggest warmest most wonderful hug full of magic and found family and the most adorable golden retriever sidekick. I fell so in love with all of the characters, and
especially in love with the dynamic between Jamie and Mika
. My only complaint (and reason for -.5 stars) is that it flew by too fast! Some of the dialogue and especially the scenes at the end was very quick-paced with little descriptive narration. Since it comes in at 316 pages I think there could have been room for more scene-building in those faster moments. Overall though it was a delightful, easy read — a good palette cleanser and sort of like a slightly more adult version of The House in the Cerulean Sea (but witchier, of course).
