Glad you enjoyed Rosh beautiful review as always ♥️
Weird that for every positive, you also have something to argue against it. Though you do have some really good points. Strong female characters for example doesn’t have to mean that the men are cardboard cutout characters. Sorry it went a bit too wild and enthusiastic in the final quarter, but it’s clear this was still a blast. Sounds like this was written by a talented author who’s not afraid to challenge herself. Good review, Rosh.
I'm not a fan of fantasy but glad this one was a good one for you - at least the 75%! Great review, Rosh
Outstanding review, Rosh. Even when books (the electronic or tree kind) have maps or family trees I find myself flipping back and forth. I get what a pain that is. 🤗💕😆
Okay witchy feminist fantasy is absolutely up my alley! This sounds so appealing?! Also a bit dystopian? Exceptional review dear Rosh, I’m happy the overall tilt was positive for you! I’ll be investigating this for sure ❤️🥰
Great review, love! I'm glad you enjoyed this somewhat, unfortunate that the ending slipped a bit! ♡♡
Ooh love the sound of this! I can take the last 25% being wild if the first 75% was fantastic! A fabulous review Rosh 💖
I also usually stop caring about complicated family trees and choose to go with the flow :) This doesn't quite seem like a perfect read, but I love multigenerational stories (especially about magical families). I'll be checking this out! Wonderful review!!
Fantastic review, sweet Rosh!! 🥰❤️😘 I'm so happy you enjoyed it, even though the ending was a letdown!! 💗💗
The author sounds like a very talented lady Rosh. This sounds really good. Excellent review once again! 💜
Now that's a really balanced review, lol. Been a while since you had a book like this, right?
Whoever thought it was a good idea to club all backstories together in a single chapter and plonk it into the plot?
Still, it has many good things, too, so I might give it a chance. eyeball reading obviously.
Terrific review, Rosh. 💖
It's so interesting that every positive had a somewhat negative thing associated with it, though it's clear the positives still won. I'd be in the same boat as you though, not willing to open up that PDF every time it's needed to clear things up. Very helpful review, Rosh!
Oh you really drew me into this book. Stunning review Rosh. ♥ It's been awhile since I read a good book about witches. ♥
Fantastic review, beautiful Rosh💕!!!!!!!! I'm so glad this was such an enjoyable read for you😘!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it was a strange experience to have balanced points on both sides of the scale and still ending up enjoying the book. 😅
Sadly, many women-oriented novels end up writing cardboard cutout men, just as many action thrillers have only a stereotypical depiction of women. Realism works so much better!
Thank you, Thibault. This is an author I'd love to read again.

Thanks so much, Shelley! 💖 Right? At least in my physical books, I can pop in another bookmark on the relevant pages. But in the digital edition, it's a nuisance to navigate back and forth. 😬

Thanks so much, Faerie! 💖 With a stronger ending, this could have been one of 2026 favourites. 😕

Oh yes, it's been quite some time since I wrote ✔️ and ❌ for a review. But this one used that format easily.
I swear! It was even worse on audio. I hope you enjoy it whenever you get to it, Sri.
Thank you! 💖
