I decided to revisit this old, well-liked book series from my teen years, partly because I was looking for a light read, but also because I was curious if the book had "stood the test of time" over the last eight years. And as a YA novel, I think it does! In fact, considering the vast realm of YA literature, I find it to be one of the better-written and more interesting ones. I don't know if I'm biased to the nostalgia of revisiting it, but I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a YA novel to read. The lore is unique enough for a fantasy book, the romance is fresh but not too angsty or in your face, and the characters are fun and relatable. I really don't have much other analysis to offer due to the nature of the book, but I recommend it for what it is!

LOVED the story...a mix of Harry Potter and Twilight...but I struggled with the writing...or I suppose it would be whoever edited it? If you can get past that - it was a fun story to read.
