Sapphic witches? ✅️
Cozy, queer-normative world? ✅️
Excellent fall vibes? ✅️
I just wish the representation if the Black and Chinese characters was done better.
You don't find out until several pages in that the first FMC we meet is Black, and only because it's mentioned that her sister has box braids.
The Chinese American is only identifiable as Asian because of their last name.
It's a small town with a Black family of witches, with one of them having pink hair and a Chinese American non-binary side character with blue hair. Yet the authors mentions only the white character standing out.
