This was a very good read. Unique idea, the magic world is intriguing and the characters likable. I like a badass heroine and that's exactly what our FMC is. 

I was surpised to find out which characters were and were not part of the harem, that was intrestingly done. I was slightly disappointed a first, but it really worked. 

The only downside with so many male characters is that they blend in together. I listened to the audio version and kept forgetting who was who, which ones were the twins, who had what power etc. Hope to see more character depth and development for the MCs in the next book. 

 I also felt the world building could have been more comprehensive - FMC deffos didn't ask enough questions like any regular person would have. 

The last chapters however, pretty much made up for all the minor issues. It was heart wrenching, tears are still flowing here. It worked though, the ending wasn't a cliffhanger but a pause, which I much prefer, and I can't wait to start the next book.

I feel like there's a lot of potential, but it was executed in such a mediocre way. Like the main character is too much at once. She doesn't feel like she has dimension, just a bunch of tropes whose actions don't match her personality. And then the poor other female characters that are stereotypes.

boring

this was so hard for me to finish, I never DNF and I almost did here.
I didnt like the main character, she was too pouty and oblivious.
I liked the idea of their powers but it didnt entirely make sense
and of course the plot was so predictable
