The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic by Emily Croy Barker

4.0

I officially have a love-hate feeling for this book. It was written pretty decently: the world was well built, I loved the description of magic, and the characters were well developed also. It was quite the slow read, or long journey, but I feel like that was the point. Slow burning, but the character growth is intense. I just hate hate hate how it left off. But that's a testament to the love I felt for the characters.

I do feel like events happened rather chaotically, or a bit too conveniently, but it didn't spoil anything for me. Things certainly didn't develop how I expected them to, and while sometimes it almost seemed too random, in a way it was part of the book's charm.

I can't wait for a sequel.
