So I totally picked this up cause I heard Sailor Moon vibes and I was like sign me up. It definitely gave me the feeling I get watching Sailor Moon but I can see how that vibe isn’t for everybody but I had a great time!

I thought the characters were so cute. Zhara was just so sweet and I liked seeing her relationship with her sister. And Han also gave me the Good Looking Giggles 🤭 He was just so cute and goofy and sweet. I liked how he fell for Zhara and it was just a cute, pure little crush. Ah and the nicknames everyone had! Adorable! I want to know more about Yuli cause we got a little bit about her more towards the end. Now everyone’s going off on their own journeys so I’m intrigued how they’ll come back together.

The magic also played out about how I expected. I’m interested to see if that changes in the next book because for the most part we were dealing with people who didn’t have magic or people who didn’t really know how to use it so I’d like to see it from the perspective of someone who understands it.
