2/5

I picked this up at a book fair in middle school and remembered LOVING it, so I wanted to give it another read. I wasn't disappointed -- I think there are a lot of elements in this story that were cool but just not as fleshed out as I wanted. The world and characters felt a little 2-dimensional which made it hard to care for any of them when anything happened. I think the actual "magic" has a lot of potential moving forward...
