It is an odd book, and I love it for its oddness :D I do wish I could have read it without knowing that it was about witchcraft; that twist would have been an amazing one to experience after going through those first two-thirds of the book not knowing it wasn't going to stay mundane. It does reward re-reading, though: I think there's a lot of sort of hinting at the supernatural turn in the early part of the book, which I love as an instance of that borderland between mundane and fantasy fiction that I always find fascinating.
At the witch’s Sabbath, where you might expect Laura to finally find Her People, she instead discovers that she hates parties just as much as ever after selling her soul to the devil.
I LOVE this bit, and Laura's happiness and fulfilment in solitude in general.
