This was a really cute little book! It went by pretty fast; I think it could've benefitted by being longer, maybe going a bit more in-depth about the family and the magic system, both shifters and witches both, but maybe that's what the sequels are for.

The art style is super cute and I adore Aster and Charlie both. The themes of not fitting into what's “expected” and not living up to the standards your parents - even unwittingly - place on you were handled very well, I feel. 

I also love magic systems that mainly use runs or sigils and magic circles as a way of casting, so bonus points for including that in the book. I just really like the aesthetic of it.

I'm unsure if I'm going to pick up the next two books, but the first one was a super quick read so I might!
