listening to the audiobook with the amazing work of nicola coughlan made this book even better, she gave so much life to the characters (who were already great, so different from each other and recognizable)
the story was amazing, i love how we get all the pov's, so we also "understand" the antagonist and why they did what they did. it really felt like a slice of life, chill story of a witch trying to understand who she is, meet new friends, etc and then on the other side it was "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD IF I DON'T DO ANYTHING". i loved the contrast
also the fact that there's kids who learn about their powers ?? teenagers becoming friends and the adults looking out for them idk it really felt like a family, an upgrade on the found family the adults already had. it was so cute
