I fell in love with this book from the very beginning and totally wish I could be dropped into this world (as a witch, not a shader obvs). Part of me is disappointed this isn’t a series, but I’m also relieved as well - I don’t think future books would hold a flame to this one. Even though it’s a YA book and I’m in my late 30s, there were still so many quotes and bits that I could relate to/my soul needed to hear. I’m so glad I found this in my TBR while trying to finish more of my A-Z challenge. So, sorry The September House, I have a new fav book for this year.

ETA: JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I COULDN’T LOVE THIS BOOK MORE, I DISCOVERED THERE’S A REFERENCE TO THE MOVIE SPEED, ONE OF MY FAVORITE (AND TOTALLY UNDERRATED) MOVIES EVER, IN THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 😍😍😍
