I love the characters of the witches, especially in how they (to an extent) are similar to Milton's angels.
It's very easy to get immersed in this world.

This is not a children's story; this has many discussions about the Christian church and original sin that may be disconcerting for some and does not put the church in a good light. However, for every growing adult who feels that they do not belong, that they do not believe the path that their parents lay in front of them is right- this is the story to read.
