Description

Cat has always been content to exist in the overshadowing brilliance of his sister Gwendolen, a gifted young witch whose talents are the envy of many. While Gwendolen effortlessly casts spells and generates awe among their peers, Cat finds comfort in his more ordinary existence. However, life takes a turn when they are drawn into a world filled with enchantment and hidden dangers, revealing that there’s more to Cat than mere complacency.

As Cat navigates through a landscape where magic is both wondrous and perilous, he begins to discover his own unique abilities. The journey not only challenges his perceptions of himself and his family but also forces him to confront his insecurities and figure out where he truly belongs. With whimsical twists and an undercurrent of profound discovery, this captivating tale explores themes of identity, sibling rivalry, and the magic that lies within each individual's journey.

Thanks to booktok, I found out that the Chrestomanci series appears to have been some inspiration for HP <spoiler>(a wizard who cannot be named or he is summoned, wicked witches and wizards, a magical government, something similar to a horcrux etc)</spoiler> so had to read Charmed Life. It's a lovely book, I loved Howls Moving Castle so was a fan of the writer already.

A story about two kids being brought in by a magician. The girl is a powerful magician while her brother isn't. It was kind of annoying how little was explained until the end. It wasn't a mystery thing, just wasn't explained.  Also, a lot of things are done without reprocessing. but cut,e easy rea,d and is supposed to be more for children, so some things are to be expected
