I really enjoyed this book!! I loved Tamsin and Wren so much and there were so many clever things that were put in things I didn’t always notice until I processed them half an hour later and I enjoyed my time with this book so much!!

The only thing taking it down for me is that the ending felt super rushed I could have seen another 100 or so pages but other than that I would highly recommend!!

I want a Tamsin. Where do I get one. 

I wish I could find more words to describe why I liked this book so much, but I think sometimes when you enjoy something enough, there isn’t really words. It was just so good and I didn’t want to put it down. It’s not perfect by any means but it was entertaining and I liked the writing style.

A light, easy read with an interesting premise but unfortunately lacking execution. Feels more like a first draft with a lot of potential.

I really wanted to like this book, but I just didn't. In fact I was very close to dnf-ing it at one point after the first hundred pages put me in a month long reading slump, but I expected it to get better so I kept going. It didn't. I think it had a lot of potential, but the majority of the book was excessive (and somewhat repetitive) inner monologuing rather than plot, and that is my absolute pet peeve. It meant the the plot seemed to move so slowly, whilst the climax was completely rushed. Also, it may have just been because I was rushing to finish and missed something, but the climax seemed very anti-climatic. I wasn't the biggest fan of the characters, either; the main two girls were defined by one or two personality traits, and all of the background characters were literally just there to serve a purpose of the story and seemed completely one-dimensional. I did think the romance was sweet and was probably my favourite part, but I am really not a fan of the whole 'love saves the day and breaks the curses' trope. I was also expecting that to happen (whilst hoping it wouldn't) so that made me roll my eyes a little. The world-building and magic system was fairly lack-lustre, but the writing style was fine and concept was pretty good. It had potential, but just didn't quite hit the mark for me.
