This book was definitely a good-not-great kind of thing for me. I was definitely invested and I read the whole thing, but something about it was just kind of flat. I was expecting more outright witchiness; it was much more subtle than I thought it would be. I can't say I was super attached to any of the characters, but I did definitely feel for them. Wouldn't read it again, but I don't regret getting it.
