3.0
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.
