The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens
4.0
I picked this book up strictly because of the cover and also the little back blurb where it names off three things about this book like magic is real and they have to save the world but the second one listed is ‘Emma knows the word please’ and they say that is the most shocking one that hooked me (like it was supposed to)
This is a middle grade fantasy and I am learning I love middle grade fantasy a lot which is a definite surprise to me.
The relationships between the three sibling was so realistic and funny it was a big highlight to the book
I enjoyed the magic system and even though it could have easily gotten confusing it didn’t. I loved how different each of the characters were. They all felt real even, the side characters, and the story felt like there were actual stakes involved in what they were trying to do.
This book was a ton of fun and I can’t wait to read the next two in the series.
