I guess I was kind of a latecomer to The Scapegracers, given I only read the first book a little over a week ago. Before I was even halfway through, I'd already checked The Scratch Daughters out from the library, and before I finished THAT, I'd requested The Feast Makers ARC and squealed when I saw that I'd been approved.
I just...I love these witches so fucking much and will never not wish that this series (or something like it) had been around when I was in HS.
Anyway, The Feast Makers. I spent a lot of the book yelling at Sideways for not. fucking. talking. to. anyone."Hey guys, I may have mugged a witchfinder and he's probably going to be p pissed." "Hey, hundreds of witches I've never met before? Maybe hanging out in town when there are also hundreds of witchfinders in town for a witchfinder kid we accidentally killed is a bad idea, you could all be in danger." "Even if I didn't lose Jing's mimic, we may have left her obviously hexed car crashed on the side of the road next to said hex with all of our identifying shit in it." (I really expected that last one to come bite them in their collective asses) "Jing, I know it's really obvious to everyone in the whole world and you've been dropping every possible hint, but I like you." The pacing in general was a little wonky, but that was not surprising given the pacing of the previous two books and I'm choosing to see it as a feature, not a bug.
Holy shit, when the meaning of the title hits? Goddamn.
I can't wait to re-read all three when this one is officially published. Will be buying them all for my youngest, and am going to be talking to our local Teen Librarian about ordering a set for the library. Genuinely sad this is the last of this series, but can't wait to see what August Clarke writes next.
