This was one of those stories that reads itself. The pace was a little erratic at times, but chapter after chapter it ended up hooking me. The characters are impossible not to love, even Cameron, who ends up winning you over as a reader later in the novel. Obviously my favorites are Bastion and Nesbit, but Dove is close behind.

There were many tense moments, and although there are elements of romance, it is mostly a story of horror and drama, of family wounds, and the meaning of forgiveness, both towards oneself and towards others. The descriptions draw you into the book in an incredible way because of how evocative they are, with a balance between plot-driven and character-driven writing styles.

In some cases, the dialogue seemed a bit raw to me. While it is true that real life is not a perfect script, where each word connects perfectly with the other, I found that some sentences were not that polished, in addition to the repetition of "such character said" after several dialogues. That was the only thing that didn't quite convince me.

Other than that, Now, Conjurers is a beautiful, gloomy book, but with a beautiful message at the end of the day, inspired by the famous saying "be careful what you wish for, because it might come true." Wishes do come true, but only because we make them come true. All the members of North Coven took it upon themselves to remind me of that as a reader.
