Received from voracious readers. It is a world of witches, werewolves and vampires. Lucia is an interesting heroine…privileged by being one of the most important witch families but forbidden from leaving her gilded prison. At the beginning she attends her third attempt to Bloom…come into her powers as a witch…and fails again. As the story progresses she develops as a witch and a person . She has a massive lack of self esteem and is completely blind to everyone and everything that isn’t part of her restricted world. Through struggle and love she does grow up. Her lover, Adelaide, we know less. We only ever know her through Lucia’s eyes. However the ending leaves us with everything just as chaotic as the beginning..with a love story that may shift the world.
