  • a lovely magical story, exactly the witchy read i was looking for this autumn
  • hoffman's insistence on sexualizing her pre-teen characters was off-putting
  • i felt maria was sometimes inconsistently characterized & made it hard to understand her choices
  • i adored faith and loved her journey so much
