It's very character driven, which is never a bad thing, but the magical system was non defined enough for my liking. I was looking forward to complex conditions for the undoing of the curse only to be disappointed. The underlining message about gender politics, self-acceptance and identity moved me; I simply wish the main characters were given a voice beyond what they represented. I was far more curious about Alice's art and Nora's approach to life under the influence of the curse. It would have been cool if each sister's curse was somehow connected to the undoing.
Moderate: Misogyny, Sexual harassment, and Rape
Minor: War

“What I know is that though some men are witches, it is only men who are not witches.”
“I look for something beneath the shame and beneath the hunger and beneath all the ways I've ever learned to be a princess and a someday queen. I don't know the word for what I find there.
Or I do know the word, but it can't possibly be true.
Magic.”
