Good premise, interesting characters, fast paced and fun. Just also kind of confusing about what all was happening and why. Maybe a little slower paced and more time taken with some stuff instead of so quickly jumping up the next thing, would've put this over 4* for me.

It was really slow. Like visiting the other witches was cool but those were the best bits. I would totally buy a spoon though if they make merch for this book.
It felt like this should have been 120 page prequel novella released between books 2 and 3 of the series to keep interest going while the author figures out how to end the trilogy. Definitely not a 375 page standalone.

Kinda funny story about me reading this, I had put it on hold at the library and forgot about it. Then opened it right away and started reading when it became available and didn't realize it was non-fiction. I legit thought it was really boring and poorly written. Like why were we introducing characters and telling about them but they didn't interact??

The epilogue was my favorite part.

I recently read another "important person in middle of conspiracy wakes up with amnesia book" (it's nice having two nickels) that did it a little better. But this was fun.
It was basically a "why you should get therapy" primer but with dark wizards and hijinks.
