The characters and setting were very charming. Sometimes it was a little too sweet for me, bit I got swept up in it anyway. I really enjoyed the magic and witch lore. I liked Mika but especially loved the girls and Ken and Ian. The main drawback holding me back from a better rating is that I found the romance pretty boring and predictable, though there were a few highlights. Jamie was just a character I've seen many times before. That said, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to a fantasy fan who likes found family and cosy stories.
