This book was everything that it wanted to be- it was cozy, witchy, and wholesome. I love all these characters and their dynamics, especially with Mika as the newcomer. I adored the little girls too and liked seeing the progression of the relationship subplot. I appreciated how race and diversity were mentioned and felt like Mika was a really well-adjusted character, albeit with some understandable trauma that shaped her viewpoints but didn’t stop her from being the sunshine. The third act conflict felt very realistic (as far as a witchy fantasy could be) and understandable and took a little effort to resolve, which I liked. The ending wrapped up really nicely which is expected with a cozy book. The writing quality and characters were very well written though! I am so excited to read the next one.
