Easily one of the best books I've read in a long time, I could barely put it down and haven't stopped thinking about it since I turned the first few pages. 

I adore Casper and Helix beyond reason, and was fascinated by the world they found themselves in and how the events of the book changes them. 

I'm desperate for the next book to come out!

This was good but the lack of polishing was quite evident. It felt a bit simplistic at times, but not too much I would say for a YA novel. You just need to go into it with the understanding that this is indeed YA.

You also have to suspend your disbelief a bit when it comes to the magic system, which is based off the zodiac signs. Except, these people live on the other side of the... was it universe??? at the very least the other side of the galaxy and... those constellations are not there. There is an explanation provided in the book, I just didn't find it particularly convincing. 

Overall this was cute and I will be reading the next book.
