I really did not like the writing style, characters, or narration.

I think this is proof that silly fantasy of this type is not for me. Didn't hate it but it's just not my preference.

Great start, formulaic middle, expected but welcome plot twist at the end. Will look out for the second one.

This was so much fun!! I was laughing throughout and wanted to get back to reading whenever I had to put it down. I loved Davi’s remarks and humor and how she approaches everything. It felt like reading a video game and even as someone who doesn’t play, it was just so so entertaining. I loved the cast of side characters and how descriptive the world is. The magic system was easy to understand. The twists at the end were so good and I immediately placed a hold on book 2 when it ended. Jeanette Illidge is my new favorite narrator. The way she gave everyone a distinct voice, plus the sound effects! Amazing job. Can’t wait to listen to her narrate book 2!!
