yeah, the witches who prefer to use psychology angle is... quirky? but not nearly as appealing to me as actual magicians. i also don't like that they seem to be positioned as effectively government officials. maybe i wouldn't hate it, idk, but i'm more interested in reading more of naomi novik's other books to see if they can capture the same mystical beauty without giving such a dogshit unwanted 'romance'. or one of the other books i got this library trip. i'm probably trying childgrave next but i don't know if it will be any good.
