All I expected from this book was a couple of hours filled with queer witches and a lot of fun and it delivered. This book helped me a lot while I was suffering from a reading slump and while I do consider this book a very good way to pass time it also wasn’t perfect.
Couple of things that could have made this book better in my opinion:
1. I would have loved to see a polyamory relationship and I think it would have totally fit in this story.
2. I would have loved it if there was an actual solution. This story only has an conclusion for this year, but what happens next year? When there needs to be an other sacrifice? This is a book with no real ending which is okay…. But this feels a bit like there will be an other book but as far as I know it’s a stand-alone…
But if we don’t look at these 2 points I think the book is really good.
