libraryalissa 's review for:

When We Were Magic by Sarah Gailey
3.5
adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

3.5 What did I just read? This started out so good and rich and dynamic and then it just… dissolved? It felt like the author burnt out before reaching the end. Also it was hard to be happy for the characters when they were just kind of chill about killing this innocent dude the whole time? I wish he had been an asshole or something so it could be campy and feminist instead of kind of sad queer witches. But the fall vibes were 5 stars.
