I feel like I connected to this book a bit more because I used to live near some of the locations. I could properly see Dulwich and imagine these four teenage girls trying to find a post box. 

The world building was wonderful and there was so much that really made it an enjoyable read. In fact I read it quite quickly for me, but there were times when I wanted to speed up what was happening. It felt like it was taking too long to get to the reveals of who some of the characters were and what there part of the story was. 

The whole bullying thread was a bit too much. Yes, it’s great that they all realise and learn from it, but it would have been nicer to see them learn their magic on something less petty and vengeful.
