Found family is certainly at the heart of this, with nowhere house being a magnet for strays who need a family of sorts.
Although the general premise of the trying to break witchy societal norms was intriguing and engaging, for me it lacked wider plot and worldbuilding that would’ve helped me engage with the story more.
I will admit I would’ve never seen the plot twists and the links between Mikas lives coming but unfortunately this wasn’t enough to keep me engaged. This is a great shelf filler, and a great entryway to fantasy but just doesn’t meet my personal standards I prefer my witchy/fantasy books to stand up to.
