This was exactly what I needed to get out of my reading slump

4.5, very good just a few nitpicks on the writing.

I had my issues with this book but the ending GAGGED ME SO HARD that I can't help but stan and being excited for the next one

This ending always makes me lose my mind

This book is unimaginative, with multiple povs that all felt like the same inner voice and surface level prose that left no room for character exploration. A bunch of confused teens run around England with a bunch of power, being chased by incompetent dark evil guys. Go read darker shades of Magic instead.

SO maybe i'll come back to this but i'm really just not interested right now, even though the concept is cool. it's probably because i'm reading other fantasy novels rn. 30% and i barely remember what i've read 💔
