This book is a sweet but still intense upper YA fantasy. Full of family loyalty as well as found family. Elia will do anything for her siblings and father and eventually Trys. The beginning of this book is a lot of backstory, and the magic system is definitely unique. I thought Elia and Trys’ love story was cute, however I do wish this had been a duology or maybe even an additional 200 pages, since so much occurs and some parts felt rushed or glossed over. 
Overall if you love a quirky witch, found family x real family, unique magic, a sweet and gentle MMC, and a fierce FMC then you should definitely pick this book up. 
Thank you so much HarperCollins for the advanced copy!
