Difficult to rate this one. It’s very gripping, and the plot kept me engaged, but I kept wanting more Bad Witch Burning and less giant snake. The world felt sketchy and the ending wasn’t super satisfying. I kept getting pulled out of the story because it felt so ridiculous at times—like it would be perfect for younger YA, but also I don’t think that’s the right audience for this book, which left me feeling odd about it throughout. 

Still looking forward to more of this author’s work.
