If you’d like to read more about The Very Secret Society for Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna, check it out on Goodreads.“This is one of my coziest reads of the last year, and I find myself thinking about its enchanted setting all the time.” - Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling authorĪ warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family-and a new love-changes the course of her life.Īs one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don’t mingle and draw attention. I cannot say I’d read this again but I do recommend it to readers who like slow tales about found family and magic. I gave this book 3 out of 5 simply because I felt that the author did a good job, and a middle-rating was fair because the issues I had were more about me and my personal preferences, and not about the author’s talents. Seriously, it was so slow I had to listen to it at 1.7x speed just for it to sound normal and interesting. I don’t know what the publishers were thinking, but they took a 5 hour book, slowed it to an unbearable speed, just to make it 7 hours long. I listened to this on audiobook, narrated by Samara MacLaren.

I can see why a lot of readers rate it so highly though, Sangu Mandanna has a great concept and excellent writing skills.

It was too slow, and too boring, and too domestic. I will say that the book is well written, but it was simply not my cup of tea. I really looked forward to reading this one, but it fell totally flat for me. She moves into a big house, falls into the middle of many secrets, and finds the family she always wished she had.

However, one witch named Mika Moon pushes those rules when she takes a job teaching three witch children. Magic and witches are kept secret to stay safe, living apart from each other so they don’t draw attention to themselves.
