Very obvious in its themes and predictable story, but for the target audience of middle grade/young tween readers, it’ll be a fun read. I have a lot of questions regarding the world building because I understand why the children of Grandmother had powers, but did they HAVE to marry someone with powers as well? Is that why they can’t interact with ordinary humans? But also what’s the point of having power if you’re not helping the greater community? I probably shouldn’t think too deeply about it…
