My Rating: 4.25/5
This book was such a great read. I loved reading about this future world of witches where they are forced to compete in many ways with technology. The culture that the author wove within the story kept me reading, and I loved the large cast of characters. The festivals and the world described were excellent to hear and the romance was cute to watch. I was surprised to see that this was a debut as it was well written, entertaining and hard-hitting. I look forward to finishing the duology and reading more work from the author.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
