Improbable Magic for Cynical Witches by Kate Scelsa
3.5
I’m conflicted about this one, there were quite a few things I liked- some of the characters were very compelling and wacky, and the use of tarot throughout was unique and interesting. I’ve never seen tarot used in this way, interspersed between every chapter is a blurb about a major arcana card. It related to the story and made a story out of the cards. I also found the main character quite irritating at times, and the plot felt a little too standard. untrusting main character learns to trust again, finds out something that makes her lose trust, blows up, then finally comes back together and it’s happier ever after. Boring. The way the main character was attracted to the love interests felt a little too obsessive to root for. And the “reveal” at the end came too soon, with not long enough to resolve in my opinion. Not after building up the mystery and tension the whole book.
