<I>Funny and entertaining, if you don't think too much about the plot and world building.

"<U>Three Mages and a Margarita</u>" is a good book to read when you're in the mood for a short, light story.
The main characters are a colourful, big-hearted group of friends. They are the heart of the story; if you don't like them, you won't like this book.
In my opinion, the plot is secondary and too convenient for my taste. The plot armor of the main character made me roll my eyes a few times.
There isn't much world building either, as readers learn about the world with the strangely uncurious main character. Honestly, I found baffling how disinterested and reckless she was.
My feelings and thoughts may be influenced by several fantasy books I've read about magic pacts and Faeries, but how on hearth did she think it was a good idea to sign a contract with Mages who she knew nothing about?! She could have signed up for a life of servitude for all she knew!
Anyway, apart from these few things, it's a fun book to read.

Fun, light, and charming. A warm and cozy found-family urban fantasy adventure. (I only wish my MC had a touch of magic herself...).

This was so good. I finished it in one night. Don't get me wrong. It's not perfect - the writing and characters could be fleshed out more - but it was so good. I need the next book NOW!

Awesome
I wonder how if our FMC is going to turn into an amazing, secret bad@ss as the series progresses? Part of me hopes so, but another hopes not - as a human surrounded by mythics is bloody perfect!
Pros:
- slow burn, think it’s an RH, not sure?
- inventive world building
- well edited
- well written
- good plot progression
- that cover!
Cons:
- Some scenes were confusing

I loved the Plot, the world building and the characters, a really interesting and original take on the supernatural world, this does come across a little reverse harem even though it states it isnt, unfortunately for me reverse harem is a deal breaker cant stand it, but take that out and have a real couple with (preferably Ezra) this would have benn a 5 star read! and the cover amazing!
