⭐️⭐️

This series has become one of my favourites.

It's funny, weird and warm.

The narrator is not for my ears, but it's growing on me.

peppyy's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 50%

I really wanted to like this, I was hoping to get sucked in to the world and the rules governing their magic system. I felt the pacing was too slow and by half way I still wasn't invested in the plot or characters.

Okay still don’t understand the book title but this was SO much fun. Maybe it’s partly because the graphic audio version was *chefs kiss*, but I think it’s mostly due to how much I LOVED the characters!

I think this is the first fantasy romance I’ve read where I almost wish there wasn’t a romance element. I was having so much fun with Ghost Frank and those wise wards and sassy Alexis to even remember that it’s very clearly a romance between Kieran and Alexis.

The romance was the weakest part. The story and characters are so fun, though, that I’ll be reading book 2.

This was a fun spin on the story.  Good characters,  fun story line.  I wanted it to be longer,  lots of chances to grow the characters more. 

I adored the writing and the characters, can't wait to dig into the rest of the series.
