5.0

A very fun and cathartic read that I picked up at the airport and finished reading on two flights. The protagonist, Lucky St. James, is a down-on-her-luck Metis woman in Toronto who hits the road with her elderly grandma to join a coven of witches seeking to overthrow the capitalist patriarchy. There were times when it was a bit too on-the-nose or things were over-described but I really enjoyed it and it was the kind of empowering read I needed this week.
