katieinca's review against another edition
4.0
This had a lot of what I wanted from the first book - Adam's hometown, how he interacts with the people there, the history of magic in his family - plus plenty of action, and the relationships from the first book get developed further. I mean, Adam and Vic are kind of big dummies who are terrible about communicating with each other (especially Adam) but they're getting a little better. So yay!
I still have a hard time with his elves. "They're super scary powerful and ancient and you cannot comprehend their powers and you can never ever trust them because they'll eat you alive. Except the two elf characters we actually hang out with are fairly chill, friendly, and like pop culture, and one of them may be genuinely in love with our protagonist." It feels so much less internally consistent to me than the human side of what goes on these books that it pulls me out of the narrative.

I binged this series on audio in just a few day. I love, loved them. The title for Book 1 was definitely the first draw for me, but I stayed for Adam. With each chapter I loved him more and more.
The takes on family dynamics, particularly navigating family neglect was so real in this series. Especially when it came to Bobby, because I genuinely hated him right along-side Adam in book 1. I grew to tolerate him more as the story progressed through to the end but, I still stand that Adam should have rocked him.
Vic, oh my Vicente, I love him. Point period.
Basically, this series is a Witchy, action-packed time. And I enjoyed every bit of it.
