Felt like a first draft, didn’t really connect with the characters because they felt underdeveloped to me. Magic also felt underdeveloped.

I loved it.
I have never had a book to have me thinking about it when I wasn’t reading it, with the exception of self help books.
I was totally engaged. I felt anger towards the enemies of Lila and Kell. I wanted them to feel all the pain. Lol.

On to book 2 in the series.
