Strengths: It was cute in places. I liked the Tessa redemption arc. I liked the unique character voice of Wyatt. I loved how queer everything was. I loved how energies were explained. I thought that was unique and cute. I thought it was interesting that the witches were 1. From the fae and 2. The societal outcasts.

Could have been betters: the character motivations seldom made sense. Briar opening the door. Wyatt not wondering where abandoned witch babies go. The characters seem flat? There are no actual consequences for actions so everything feels very uh.... Shallow? Wyatt 1. Steals a dragon 2. Shatters a greenhouse 3. Is like let's kill all fae and insights a riot 4. Is proven to be a traitor 5. The DOOR IS OPEN 6. KILLS THEIR PARENTS 7. Kills another guy 8. Frees prisoners from the dungeon. The consequence is the guy who should be King is and you are free from a contract you always hated.
