Ich muss sagen, am Anfang hatte ich echt Probleme ins Buch reinzukommen. Ich weiß nicht, ob es an dem Buch oder mir lag, ich fand Grace echt zickig/nervig, aber nach einem erzwungenen Beiseitelegen und wieder aufnehmen, hat sich meine Wahrnehmung sehr verändert. Ich habe das Buch in Rekordtempo zuende gelesen und genossen. Immer wieder war ich von den Entwicklungen überrascht oder hab an meiner Einschätzung gezweifelt. Ein gelungener erster Band der Reihe. (Ich hab mir direkt Band 2&3 besorgt)

The slow burn romance of this book was AMAZING! It you’re looking for smut, you won’t find it here though. But the relationship between the two characters was so sweet. Ends on a MAJOR cliffhanger.

If I had to hear “sexy af” one more time, I would’ve lost my mind. 

In all seriousness, the book was… fine. It was very much a YA novel that almost completely mirrored Twilight. I can see the appeal for many people, but I found the characters just plain old annoying. There was just a little TOO much teenage angst, and I just can’t believe it took Grace 70% of the book before she figured out she was in a magical school. There’s no way. 

I did think the plot was interesting, but the first half was so slow that it took away from the excitement of the plot and my enthusiasm for the book in general. 

All in all, this was a book. I can see and respect the enjoyment others found in this, but I don’t think I’ll be continuing the series.

I had many issues with this book. So many parts of it were cringe, especially the meet cute. I will never forgive the author for the cringiest meet cute of all time. The dialogue is cringe, her “quirky jokes” are cringe, the way the two immediately fall in instant-love is cringe. It truly felt like a knockoff twilight in all the worst ways. The only thing that saved this book was the fact that it’s set at a magical school like Hogwarts. I just wish the main character had more personality. She felt so unbelievably flat. The love interest was totally hot tho, love that for him.

I would have loved this when I was a teenager and I understand that many people would find a lot of joy in this book. The writing was really difficult to get through. The text language (I.e. “af”) was rough. Also, the addition of the tropes- girl who is perfect with no personality has a guy who is a killer fall in love with her- hurt. I mean, this is definitely a Twilight fanfic, which for someone wanting that, might make it a perfect read.
