As a witchy woman who recently took up knitting, this is the perfect comfort read!
I listened to this while knitting and it was just so delightful to be able to recognize terms, visualise the yarns and actually understand what's going on!
While I wish the book would've gotten more into the vampires, it hasn't done too bad with world building for such a short book.
It is somewhat predictable, but honestly, that was to be expected.I definitely didn't see Peter Right (?) being the murderer! I suspected Violet or possibly Sylvia!
I also feel like the trial for the grimoire was a bit rushed. What has Violet been training for years if Lucy can just be told she's a witch and voilà: she can make things happen without a hitch. I personally prefer the type of magic system that drains new wielder. It makes more sense to me and I think it would've been fitting here.
This book is a cozy little murder mystery with a magical element, but it felt a bit too rushed for all the plotlines that got introduced. Kind of like someone successfully having completed their first row of knitting only to immediately cast off again.
Even so, I liked the book and really hope the lore gets built on more in the subsequent books. Only one way to find out though... :p
