kokidelavega's review against another edition
lighthearted

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No

- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Moderate: Blood, Death of parent, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Bullying
Some people have listed pedofilia as high in the content warnings, and while it was a bit iffy for me, I know it’s because I’m an American reader who is accustomed to age of consent being 18yrs, but it seems in the UK it’s 17yrs. The age difference between the love interests are about 5yrs (I think. I don’t remember exactly), but the story and romance happen 8 years after they meet. So I think it comes down to an individual’s comfort level with age differences rather than labeling it as pedofilia.bookcasey's review against another edition

A quick magical romance with a misfit witch, a dashing mage, and a full cast of supporting characters, complete with animal sidekick. If you’re looking for something light and happy, this is a fun pick. Brief suggestion of queerness, but otherwise little to suggest diversity among the characters.
The ending is a bit rushed; I wish an editor could have helped with the pacing there. There’s also a note about an epilogue if you subscribe, yada yada.

Minor: Bullying, Grief, Death of parent, and Injury/Injury detail
Brief and relatively vague sexual scene (but with discussion of birth control, yay!), would probably be fine for YA readers.
