It's incredibly refreshing to read a YA book that has College age protagonists, it feels like a rarity.
This book had me hooked from page one, or more specifically from the first time I heard Scarlett speak. I am a bit of a sucker for a lady with a southern drawl., which Sophie Amoss captured perfectly. I have no regrets about handing the physical book off to the next person waiting for it at the library, because I fell in love with Sophie's narration bringing Scarlett and Vivi to life. Enough so that I want to listen to it again.
I really enjoyed the use of New Age Magick being the cover for witches existing in real life, and it felt nice to see things that I use in my Practice being carried over to be part of this book. It is the kind of Fantasy Fiction I really wanted in my adolescence.
Also the description of things in this book were the kind of things that at points gave me chills because I could feel it on my skin as it was described.
This felt very similar to Legendborn by Tracy Deonn which I read recently, where the college is a cover for a secret society, but instead of the blatant racism we see towards Bree from those in The Order of the Round Table and the general lack of Diversity. We definitely see more diversity and acceptance within the racks of The Ravens. Which was interesting to experience overall.
