This was a very interesting read. I genuinely enjoyed the premise and most of this story. I found it far too long and at times I was asking “why is this here and when will we get closer to the end?” 

Here’s what works really well:
The way this is so we’ll connected to 2023 even though it’s set in 1893
The relationship between the sisters 
The diversity 
The magic system 
The epilogue!!!

What I wish was different:about 6 chapters shorter. 

Genuinely, this book about feminism, magic, power, sibling relationships, and *hope* is so well done.
