I absolutely adored this book and devoured it in an afternoon. It’s whimsical, cosy and charming with just the right amount of peril.
We follow Eglantine as she tries to find her ‘witchspark’ and overcome the evil whistlewitch. We’re also treated to the dual pov with chapters from princess Victoria who faces her own issues with magic. There’s magical hats, dragon butlers, secret witch courses and sassy, sentinel houses, what more could you want from a middle grade fantasy?
I love the overall message of the book that no matter your gender, ability or disability and social status you control your future.
Can’t wait to read more in this world.
