A sweet as sugar love story between two magician’s assistants where one of them actually has magic, AND there’s a super evil villain.
“We do that a lot, don’t we? Show up and take what we want?”
“Perhaps one day we’ll learn better.”
“You have far more faith in people than I do.”
“Sometimes,” I said. “Faith is all that I have.”
“Is it enough?”
Despite being a lovely YA love story, it went surprisingly dark at times. It was thoroughly well done, with the world, the characters, and the plot working together in harmony. Slow paced at times, but not boring. It did get a little repetitive for me two thirds of the way through, but I had no difficulty with finishing it and the climax was satisfying and earned.
“I’d rather be trapped with you than free without you.”
“I’m a burning building Jack,” I said. “Only a fool would run into one.”
“Then I’m a fool on fire.”
