Absolutely loved this book!

A very cozy read with a unique magic system, fun characters and a compelling mystery. The writing is unlike other fantasies I've read in that it's very lyrical, captivating and accessible. 

I adored the Sidra and Torin plotline and for the first time, I've really enjoyed reading child characters! (by this i mean they're cute and realistic rather than annyoing 🤣) 

Only criticism would be that I wasn't as convinced by Jack and Adaira, however I warmed up to them a lot more by the end.

It’s a good beginner fantasy read. I liked some of the character development and I’ll be interested to see what they do in the next book.

Would read this book again. I’m excited to read the sequel, I just couldn’t put the book down it was such a good read and very well written. The world building and characters were really interesting too.

This book was really fun. i enjoyed how the mystery unfolded for the characters. it sat right in the fun spot of being able to figure things out just ahead of the characters. i found the characters to be fun to read. each pov characters felt well developed and unique. the side characters did as well. i was gripped the whole time waiting to see what would happen next. can’t wait to read the next book. it’s been moved to the front of my tbr
