I was really excited to return to Mandanna and the cozy witchy reads that she has created and I really wanted to love this as much as the first book in this series but if just fell flat a few times and I think this was through the pacing of the book.
I loved idea for this plot of this story of Sera loosing her power and having to live without it but always looking for a way to get it back. She is trying to survive in a world of magic and those who have magic around her and now she has very little of her own. Sera tries to put on a brave face to the world around her but she wants nothing more than getting her magic back and is willing to go to great lengths to achieve it. She has defined herself by the magic she has and lost and can’t seem to see that she is great and thriving without it.
Luke is amazing. Such a great example of a man, he puts other’s needs over his own, will go above and beyond for those he loves especially his sister.
I didn't really feel the romance. To me Sera and Luke relationship lacked a spark and their relationship felt more of one of friendship than anything else. Which I would have been fine with Mandanna having it stay that way, I don’t really see the found family changing much by not having them in a relationship.
I appreciated the ending of where the book end up but i don't think that it will be for everyone.
Overall, this book is a darling read and I did enjoy it I just preferred The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches more. I hope that Mandanna continues to write in this cozy witchy world as I will be there to read them.
