The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
5.0
I sprang this on Destiny very last minute so thank you for being up to buddy reading it with me.
This book was perfect for this time of year. It's such a cozy, wholesome, magical and cute book and I just loved it. I didn't realize it until Destiny brought it up but this definitely gives me TJ Klune vibes. Specifically The House in the Cerulean Sea. This is a story about acceptance, found family and self love. It has the grumpy/sunshine trope which I really enjoy.
I loved all of the characters introduced in this book however there were 2 standouts for me. The first one being Terracotta which is one of the 3 kids she's supposed to be teaching how to control their powers. They get off on the wrong foot at no fault of Mika's but there are some hijinks that ensue and for the most part it's pretty funny. Then there's Ian. He is an eccentric retired actor in his 70s/80s but he definitely doesn't act his age. the banter between these characters is on point and the relationships built throughout was amazing. I wasn't expecting the reveals at the end and I love when that happens.
Overall I loved this book. It's such a cozy read and I highly recommend you giving this one a go if you haven't already.
