- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated

- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Another good witch-y read (I guess this is more for Halloween for me than it will be when it's published, but The Nightmare Before Christmas gets to be spooky twice a year too!)
I thought this was a fun take on the idea of witches and magical creatures (like Planchette being a kitchen witch and making food from her spells and potions which looked absolutely delicious). My favorite thing about this though was the way that what each character thought was a personal flaw, someone else thought was their strength and something to look up to.
