My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Yeah, stoned on painkillers is totally the best way to review this one.



If you tilt your head to the right, this is a cozily hijinxical* Canadian urban fantasy with a magical junk shop and a leprechaun and a snuggly extended family who express their feelings by baking a lot, also dragons.



But if you tilt your head to the left, it’s seriously fucked up slice-of-life about a family of creepy mind-controlling witches who have a consent-optional incestuous breeding program RUN AWAY RUN AWAY.



So I mostly kept my head tilted to the right. Advise doing the same.



*Vicodin. shuddup.
