About this listen

The Cambridge University witches have been meeting for as long as the university has been around. They meet mainly to discuss books, though they do so on the roofs of the colleges.

Only those invited can join; this includes Kat (a great spell caster and professor) and Cosima, Kat's sister, café owner and witch. However, when Cosima begins casting spells to attract a mate, everything starts to go wrong - she sets off a chain of events that turns each witch's world upside down....

Listen, overall I really enjoyed the story. I liked the characters, the narrator, the magic system. Could have done with a little more focus on world building. But the biggest issue is the lack of consent in two of the main relationships. I'm not opposed to this as a plot point, but it is seriously glossed over, especially in the relationship where is a woman magically coercing a man. It's very disturbing, but the writer doesn't seem to understand this, or really acknowledge it in the text. So if this is something that will upset you then DO NOT LISTEN. Again, I enjoyed the book overall, I think the author has promise, but they're in desperate need of a sensitivity reader.

I’m afraid I got distracted by some of the pronunciation issues…..it’s “maudlin” not “mag del lynn”!

So far so good….

François is not pronounced the same as Françoise. Every time the mispronunciation is repeated I get even more annoyed, and it detracts from the story.

I love the Witches of Cambridge series, but…
