A review by thiane_reads_sa
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
3.0
Round up to 3.75 stars⭐️
One of the best diverse and unique representations in a book I’ve ever read. I really loved that!
Mika is a sweetheart, and I love her quirkiness, humor and my heart even broke a little at how she had to hide who she is, and especially her upbringing.
Her moving to Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their powers was really cute and uplifting- and I absolutely loved all the side characters- except for Teracotta, damn that child worked on my every nerve.
Loved Ian, Loved Jamie. Overall- just amazing cast
of characters. Why I’m giving this 3 stars is the middle part of the book I found quite boring. Only here after about 80% into it again things got quite interesting.
Also- I have no love for children so I might not be the target audience for this. In my mind for some reason I thought the witches would be a bit older.
The narrator did a fantastic job. Nailing the accents, it was a huge cast that she had to portray and she did it excellently. You could distinguish super easy who is speaking.
Overall- beautiful, uplifting and super fun!
I would recommend this highly.
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC
