I had high hopes for this book and was not disappointed. It was such an excellent read with an adorable romance.
Each character felt very distinct and rounded. While I didn’t fully understand EVERY motivation, the way the characters were written made me trust there was a good reason. The skill of character writing showed best with Amarante who felt realistic and solid. She felt like an actual teenager and was a compelling MC. And this enjoyment of her and the other characters really sold me on their relationship dynamics.
Most of the issues I had were actually pretty minor. Some plot beats felt rushed, but it was only a couple. Some character moments lacked proper buildup and attention, but again it was only one or two. Finally, knowing she’s the MC of the next book, I was a little disappointed the time spent with her for extended periods didn’t give us more insight to her or warm the reader up to her.
Overall, great book and I HIGHLY recommend it.

If i’m honest I was expecting a bit more on the romance aspect so I was a tad disappointed but don’t let me put you off, the romance is very sweet and heartwarming! - but alas definitely not the focus point of the book at all. But nevertheless, this book has such an interesting magic history and I adored everything about it. This is definitely one of those books that is just a breezy read that will enchant you and put you at ease as you escape into its world.
I will definitely read the next one about narcissa! I’m so excited to read about her.
