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.

Frustrating to read. The concept was great, unique at times, and I adored one or two of the side characters, but the pacing was off and it was poorly written with stilted dialogue. Some of the rules of the magic system and the lore of the island were never fully explained and the rules/parameters of the magic system often contradicted each other.

The major adventure the two main characters undertake to find the missing girls is rendered almost pointless - by the time they get the answer they are looking for, they have nearly found it another way anyways.

I was left annoyed because I wanted better for this story. It *could* have been great, but it fell flat. I almost DNF'd it at 150 pages in. I ended up skimming a lot of it until I got to a place where I actually cared enough to keep reading to find out what happened. I will not be picking up the second book in this duology, and will likely avoid reading Rebecca Ross in the future.
