Honestly, this story probably arrived just as I needed. If you're looking for a story to be as low stakes as Sangu's last book, I'm sorry to say that things are a little more intense. This story is about losing everything and the journey to rise up from where you fell down. In a way, I liked the arc of the main character better in this book than The Secret Society of Irregular Witches. She seemed to have more growth. I will say that what keeps this from being a five star book is that there is a bit of a cut and paste feel to some of the characters. In many ways, that is comforting and if that's what you're looking for then you will love this book. It's most definitely a great book to curl up to next to a fire with a pet and drink some lovely tea. And perhaps a good story to read when you feel the world is against you.
