I love how the book didn’t make any weird social media numbers up like some authors do when it come to things being viral on the internet, etc. What I do think is weird is how an 80 year old man was capable of knitting “a sweater for each person” as a gift, which means 3 kids and 4 adults. Personally as someone who knows how to knit and HAS knit several sweaters I would say this man would have gotten a severe tendinitis.
I know worldbuilding wasn’t necessarily the main focus of the book but I always love how magic is described through each author’s vision. Witches make more sense as a community rather than separated.
Minor: Child abuse
