3.0

I wasn't as in love with this story as I was with the Hazel Wood books, but the character interactions were compelling. The ending was disappointing because I'm not a fan of
the chosen one trope, and the third-act reveal that the protagonist was a super-powerful witch all along cheapened her journey for me.
I really enjoyed the chapters focused on the Mom and her teenage coven.
