I have fallen in love ...it's Harry Potter meets WAKANDA. I cannot wait to continue this journey. Didn't want the adventures to end!

This book would be amazing to see on screen. The magic system and details of the story are beautiful. The authors note also was beautifully put and inspiring. The struggles of the characters in the story are very much the struggles of those today and the way that was captured and reflected in the book was perfectly done. The only struggle I had with this book was that it was so long. I felt like there are times that it felt like the story was dragging. If it was a bit shorter this would’ve been close to a 5 star read for me.
