I quite enjoyed this book. I especially loved the strange vintage photographs. 
The characters felt a bit one dimensional, we didn't learn much about any of them except for their abilities. This even extends to the main characters, I thought Jacob would have some depth especially as Riggs detailed Jacob's mental health issues in the beginning but his struggles just disappear and he copes remarkably well with everything else that happens. 

I found it easy to read, engaging and would recommend to 10-14 year olds. A great quirky, paranormal fantasy book.

Finally after promising myself I would pick up this book series for years, I did it. I do not regret it. This book surprised me in many ways and the pictures were one such surprise but I l thoroughly enjoyed this book. If your a fan of magic stories then I would recommend this.

The entire storytelling is genius. At first glance it seems like a regular book. But once you grasp the hidden meaning it opens up a whole new world. Absolutely incredible. 
The characters are delightful and I love how they each have a backstory.
