I loved Tam and Nova, they made such a cute couple; this is perfect if you love the childhood friends-to-lovers trope!! The side characters were also great, especially the grandmas. The plot is simple but not boring and the themes (the weight of one’s parents' aspirations, complicated family dynamics and reconnecting with old friends) were handled well. Nova is deaf and I loved that it was included in how she practiced her magic. The illustrations are pretty and the soft color palette creates a great atmosphere.

I didn’t like Nova’s friend, but she was a good comic relief in tense situations. I found the worldbuilding, magic system and wolf lore a little vague. There are many great ideas that I wanted more details on. Overall, it’s a cute witchy romance and a great cosy read!!
