It took me ages to get into this one. I could tell it was great, but there was just too much dialogue with multiple characters at the beginning. For me, this made it feel sluggish and created a block to properly engaging with the protagonist. I figured this difficulty - with such a dialogue heavy start - was a me thing so I pushed through. I’m so glad I did because it was a fun and interesting story. It’s a contemporary teen story about a group of friends who are snarky, angry, defiant, loyal, and magic. 
Having said all that, the book just stops. There is no ending. It’s sort of cliffhanger-y, but it’s also sort of just the end of a chapter. Like the printer got jammed before they could finish printing the book, so they stuck a cover on this bit and called it ‘book one’. I do want to know more about these witches though, so I’m going to look for the next instalment.
