DID NOT FINISH: 10%

This is atrociously written. I’ve legit read fanfics from 14 years old written with more skill than this. I’m shocked by all the good reviews. 

I enjoyed this overall, but thought there was a lack of world building and character explanations that left me trying to figure out who everyone was up until the very end of the book. It's basically a shot by shot rework of her fanfiction, which I enjoyed, but since there was no Harry Potter world to fall back on, it lacked a little of that building that I really needed in order for this book to flow more clearly. I'll definitely be back for the 2nd and 3rd book.
