amalyndb's review against another edition
fast-paced
Concept - interesting.
Beginning and end have different flow than the middle, especially dialogue with text talk. Felt jarring and like it may not age well, but I am also not the target audience.
May read the others if I am really bored later on.

I don't know how but Kate pulled off writing something that was fun and light while still dealing with heavy issues like death and mental illness. Loved the characters even if some were annoying at times. The magic system in this book is creative and I enjoyed reading about all the elements they'd need to find. I'm glad their story will be continued on.
