Whenever the FMC wasn’t insufferable the book was good. I really wish FMC got her own karmic justice and better understanding of her own actions but YA book, what are you gonna do ya know?

This book started out kind of slow for me but it picked up pace pretty quick. I found it to be predictable in a lot of ways but enjoyed the read none the less.

OK, but kind of a mess. The premise was good, but way too much jumping around without actually saying why. Girl gets magical powers, uses them mostly for good. But for all of the "instant karma" she has no real karmic reckoning of her own (or at least one that lasts more than 5 minutes). Has promise that doesn't 100% deliver.
