WHAT I LIKED

I really liked the characters in this book. Lou was so fun to read about, and so fucking funny. Her I-really-don’t-give-a-fuck-attitude is so hilarious. I loved reading in Reid’s POV, and I think that he could be such a cutie. (Even though he was a badass).

I enjoyed our side characters, and the plot twists ensued. The hate to love romance was fun, and I haven’t read one of those for a very long time.

The plot line was good, and the feud between the witches and the church was very believable.

I also liked how how this book gave us a different take on witches.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE

The way this book discriminated women was disgusting and I really didn’t enjoy it.

I also think that the world building was shitty and it had more potential than given.

OVERALL THOUGH, GREAT BOOK

- Another shitty review from yours truly, Abi

- Also low key want the 2nd book like right now

- And I’m reading Wilder Girls right now and I’m kinda despising it ngl

- I’m also jumping for joy because ‘The Queen of Nothing’ is coming out this month
