reading about an underage girl being addicted to magic-vape and trying to get her friend hooked on it was not on my 2022 bookish bingo card ngl
Enjoyed this fantasy featuring twelve-year-old Sophie, an Elf who lives in the human world and doesn't know who she really is until found and brought into the Elven world. This was well paced and kept my interest. Fans of Harry Potter and Fablehaven should enjoy this. Not sure what brought this to my attention but I'm happy to have lived in Sofie's world for awhile.

pleasantly surprised at how hooked i was in this. super easy read too.
Honestly couldn't put the book down. Once you understand that it's aimed at children and shouldn't nitpick the book, it is a lot of fun. I went into the book with the mindset that I shouldn't draw parallels to other fantasy series and accept the premise as presented - that definitely paid off.
Sophie is a character that I find far more appealing than a lot of protagonists of books aimed at older audiences. She's mature for her age while still being a child. Yes, she is overpowered but that's okay!
I've enjoyed these characters and the world and I am looking forward to see where Sophie and co.'s adventures take them.

This was so much fun!
Review to come tonight. I'm so glad I've delved into middle grade fantasy. Sure, Sophie is a bit of a Mary Sue, but the other characters are so wonderful I couldn't stop reading. I just feel that the world building was lacking, but the potential is still there.

One of the best book series for Percy Jackson fans
Real rating: 3.75 stars
Wow! I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. The concept was SO ORIGINAL. SO ORIGINAL. I’d copy and paste that about one hundred more times, but that would annoy the heck out of 99.9999% of you. So yeah. Can’t wait to read book 2! READ THIS BOOK!

Let me <i>preface</i> this review by saying that the only reason that this is a 4 star is because I WILL read the rest of the series and I know it gets better from here on. I love Sophie?? I'm way too old for middle grade but this is my kinda book regardless. I mean PHEW!
Sure, she's a typical fantasy main character , the "Chosen One", the strongest and most talented but y'know what? It works, there's a valid enough reason here and you get so swept up in the wonderful character relationships. I love, and want to stay to see more of, Sophie with her friends and family. Just a warm book, I liked uncovering the secrets and loved the ending. 4/5 stars.
