Not terrible but pretty forgettable. I will likely not be continuing the series.
I somehow got through this entire book while completely unengaged š
Take this rating with a grain of salt though as Iām slowly coming to terms with the fact that cozy fantasy is not really my thing.
I need WARRR AND DESPAAIIRRRR

The colloquialisms for modern life really took me out of it.

The thing that really took me out of thia book was the Kraken and the cat gang sounding like stereotypical black folk. What a bizarre choice for narration AND it was bad.
The magic system seems really cool but Im still waiting for the humorous part of the story. There was MANY immature moments that werwnt great but the cats were the last straw.

This book is far too long for what it is. The constant bullying and Sexual Harassment dampened the coziness of this book and it wasn't giving what I wanted from it.

I LOVED this! I was definitely in the mood for a cozy read, and this was perfect. The ending was weirdly abrupt, but the story and characters are wonderful.

I really wanted to like this book more than I did. Too long, too many scattered plots, no real resolution on important parts, and a lot of characters.
This is a story that needed a stronger editor to trim the side plots that offered little. I feel like it ended on a cliffhanger for the main plot with a salvo tossed in to appease readers.
The writing itself was an easy flow. I could keep up with most; unfortunately I felt like a few view point scenes did little to further the actual story line. I don't think I'll continue the series.
Edit. After reading a few reviews discussing the implied homophobia, racial stereotyping, and general antagonism towards women... definitely lowering from 3 stars to 2. I had forgotten them in the longness of the book.
