A Legacy Witch reminded me a bit of Harry Potter in college, but without the four houses. Odette goes to Spellcasters Spy Academy to become a spymaster in order to follow in her parents footsteps. Most of the other students took an entrance exam, where Odette decided to take the legacy route. Which makes some of the other students think that Odette is too full of herself to take the entrance exam. Which for half the semester causes her to have problems with her magic, the headmistress and her daughter. The audiobook was entertaining and kept my interest, looking forward to the other books, and interested on how the story will unfold, as it progresses.

Great intro to a new series

This is a paranormal academy series.

I enjoyed the spy take on the magical world and I’m looking forward to what comes next.

This was such a fun read. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fun, quick read. The characters were so relatable and realistically written. The atmosphere and world of this book was intricate, and listening to the audiobook along with the ebook made the world come alive. This is one of my favorite books of 2024 so far.

Very mid, but entertaining at times.

The main character is just so incredibly boring. She puts no effort into anything, despite claiming she wants to succeed. Yes, there is a binding that prevents her, but she knows nothing. I don’t blame Diana for taunting her as legacy. She point blank hasn’t shown that she belongs in the school. (Also how is it possible that Alex figured the binding thing and not one of her teachers?)

Her friendship with Eva might be bland, but man oh man her relationship with Alex is even blander. They go from hating each other to soft tender love so fast. And it’s not even the hot version of enemies to lovers. He legit never talks to her, and then bam. He is in loooove. Their relationship makes me cringe, and I skimmed through every spice scene because I don’t care and they don’t make a believable couple.

All the secrets don’t seem like secrets, nothing is ever at stake, and everything gets resolved within a few chapters. The parents are weird characters, I have no idea how the magic system works, and it’s just.. not well thought out.

I guess I could have given it less stars, but some parts were fun and I liked the ambiance.
