It’s been a long day but I’ve been wanting to read this book for weeks ever since I found out if it’s existence (I had read the second book when I was younger without realizing it was a second book); so I made it through and then fell asleep lol
But it’s really good!! I had the ‘advantage’ of already knowing what happened in the second book, so I knew what was going on, but it was fun seeing the character slowly realize it.
After my nap I realized I would’ve loved to see a bit more of how was David different from his 13th birthday and accepting the school to the first time he sees his parents again. A bit more about his classes and Groosham as it was (magical) and not through the lens of ‘idk what’s going on here’
But it’s really good!! I had the ‘advantage’ of already knowing what happened in the second book, so I knew what was going on, but it was fun seeing the character slowly realize it.
