Description
Kieran has never had much luck in love or magic. Other than being freed from a family curse that would have killed him and doomed his twin sister, life isn’t going his way.
So, after getting put on notice by his boyfriend and accidentally writing a poem so bad (and magically hazardous) that it makes him invisible to the guy, of course Kieran returns home to find the Witches Council sitting in his living room, demanding he complete his magical training. Panicked, he blurts out that his Calling—a kind of magical thesis—will be to find a magical cure-all that can break any curse . . . an enormous task that he absolutely doesn’t have the power to pull off.
Nevertheless, Kieran sets off on this dangerous journey, accompanied by his sister Briar, her girlfriend Delilah, and a swoony new crewmate, Sebastian. If he survives, he may just learn how to turn his luck around and figure out what kind of witch, person, and boyfriend he wants to be.

I went into this without realizing that it's the second part in the series. This hindered my enjoyment of the book, especially in the first half. I felt like a lot of the world-building was done in the first book, and was confused in this one. It gave me the feeling of missing out. The story is nothing special. It's heavily driven by the quests they have to complete and, at times, it felt rushed. I would have loved to spend more time on every part of their quests. In the first half of the book, Kieran really annoyed me. He's so whiny. It gets better in the second half. For me, the second half of the book was way better than the first. I enjoyed the characters and seeing them succeed. Still, it did feel quite basic and nothing revolutionary.
