Thank you to NetGalley, Saga Press/S&S and the author Cecilia Edward for an ARC copy of this book. This is my honest review.
This wasn't a genre I usually read, but I wanted to try something different and I'm glad I did. The cover and title is what drew me in, but the plot was what made me stay. This was a fun, stand alone with a lot of comedic moments. One of my favourite parts was that the character was older. The overall concept was also really intriguing. A witch having to learn to adapt to suddenly being 350 years in the future was chaos in the best way.
My favourite character was probably the cat. And I loved the relationship between the cat, Bandit, and Thorn. I loved their banter, and I loved the character and attitude that Bandit gave off.
I did feel some aspects were a bit rushed, but that's a personal preference. I would have liked to see her learning things, and not being told that she had learned things especially when it came to using cell phones, and apps. And I would have liked to see her relationship with Meg develop a bit. It felt like we were just told that she'd helped her, but we didn't really get to see a lot of that interaction. But overall, I really enjoyed this read.
This was a really nice cozy read, and a great way to break up my other reads.
