The pregnancy trope is a) not about the main character and b) not in real time. It is simply mentioned at one point. If you dislike the pregnancy trope, don't let this stop you. It's not a big topic. :)

This book would have a MUCH higher rating from me if the romance plot didn’t exist—or at least wasn’t so insta-love. I find that tiresome, grating, and unfortunate, as it causes unrealistic expectations for teens (the target audience of this series).

The time travel plot and overall magic system are great. I really like it overall and will start the third book only because I’m anxious to figure out the mystery.
