Nicely written, interesting characters and viewpoints, but I can't help feeling like it missed some of its potential.
The world-building seemed to me like it couldn't really decide how many fantasy elements it wants to incoperate, so I felt left with a story that kind of focuses on witchcraft, but also doesn't leave it enough room to fully unfold it's magic.
Overall this book feels like there could have been so many cool elements explored in this story that don't really get the stage for it - like it's the first of a trilogy which could actually focus in depth on witchcraft, the fantasy aspects and the true villain.
