I could see that really fleshed out into a cool magic system.
I like the idea of succulents storing magic inside them like water. I do like some of the ideas here, of the resident grumbling monster living under the flat. Wait, the monster was flung away, but she's still actively fighting it? Who is fighting which monster? Was there a POV change? You've decided to put the other part of the fight out of your mind, but then jump in to attack? Didn't feel any flirtatious spark there.Īfter a hum-drum start, then the second half switches tacks and then there's a magic battle with monsters? A confusing one. I'm glad Marigold is explicitly autistic, and the sapphic storyline is a non-issue. It's why I tend to stay away from contemporary and magical realism genres.
Instead of relaxed coffee shop vibes, I got secondhand anxiety over sick leave and bills to pay and housing instability. Was looking for a cozy hedge-witch vibe with diverse characters, and Aotearoan author, but it didn't quite deliver.
