Listen, this book had me at the mere mention of sapphic witches. Add in a little vengeance, an air of mystery, and a magical competition, and you have an easy 5 stars from me! 

I flew through this book. It’s fast paced AND has short chapters, so it’s easy to devour. Thistle Grove sounds absolutely charming, and I’m genuinely sad that it’s not a real place that I can visit. I’m looking forward to continue reading about its inhabitants in the next three books in the series, though I am a little concerned about them holding my interest, as my favorite aspect of this story was the spellcasting tournament, the Gauntlet. I guess I won’t be too disappointed if the rest are just queer witchy RomComs, but I love a good competition!
