Witches? Non-binary rep? Working against hate? What's not to love? Maeve goes through some great changes, and I love how the magic slowly seeps it's way into the story. It does take a while for things to get moving, but that's in large part because this is the first book in a series. Roe is fantastic, and I hope they become more confident in themself in the next novels. Also, Fiona is a queen. I can't wait to see where the story moves from here!

I normally enjoy a YA book but this just felt slow and also a bit immature for the topic that happens at the end which I felt it just skirted over and didn't address properly.

“I lean my head on his shoulder and wonder just how much easier life would be if I weren’t in love with Roe O’Callaghan. But, oh god, how boring.”
