 Cute :) I liked this a lot, even though its over 500 pages I finished it in less than 24 hours even though I should really get started on that essay due in 3 days. I found it (for the most part) very gripping - it was rare I wanted to put the book down. However, I wasn't super fond of the way it was written, especially towards the beginning, where it was mainly just detailing past exploits. I had to check multiple times that I was reading the first book in the series because it felt like the opening of a sequel which feels the need to explain everything that happened in the last 5 books in case you forgot. There were definitely a lot of times I was frustrated because I just wanted to find out what was happening in the moment, rather than 2-3 years ago - this lessened (mostly) the more the book went on though, to a manageable amount by the 40-50% mark.

Baz is great, love him, would die for him and all of that. Penelope? Also fantastic. Love her. What an angel. Agatha stayed along for too long, and every time her POV came up I was like :/ but she's fine I guess. The ending kinda felt like a stone in my stomach, but I'm hoping that gets resolved in the next book which, by reading the blurb, it sounds like it will. Looking forward to it, although a little worried about the reviews.

Okay so I loved this book but also I loved it like a Harry Potter Fanfiction. It was incredibly fun to read but I kept picturing Hogwarts, just a bit different. Nevertheless I will definitely reread it because this was super comforting!

This book was a surprise! I wasn't sure what to expect, but it'sbeen on my radar for years and I decided to finally give it a chance. I loved the characters, the plot was intriguing, the twists were fun and made me audibly gasp in some places. Who doesn't love a good Chosen One story, and this is no different. Now I need to pick up the second book immediately!
