I love the nuance of the magic system and the generational family relationships. Complicated, messy, endearing

Really interesting concept.
In this village, one family can heal your sorrows and the other family can make you forget about it.

While I did find this interesting, I had issues with the pacing, the characters and to be fair - my personal convictions.
I just strongly believe that the life experiences you’ve had shapes who you are as a person (and this is coming from someone who had a rough upbringing). So I couldn’t fully immerse myself into this story.
It’s a quick read though and I would recommend this for a quick Fall read.
