When reading Spell Bound, you get more character work than anything else. Spell Bound isn't really heavy on working out the Magic System. There are straightforward explanations and few additions as the story goes on. This isn't necessarily as negative, but if you're looking for a witchy story that is heavy on the Magical work then maybe try leaving Spell Bound for another time.

In this story, we follow Rook and Sun through their POVs but we also get to know Antonia and Fable, their mentors. The characterisation was done extremely well.

My favourite part f this book was the friendship and romantic development between Sun and Rook. Their personalities blended so well, their interactions were amusing and the development of their relationship was well-written.

Another relationship I enjoyed in this bools was the dynamic between Antonia and Rook. Throughout the book, Antonia becomes the only adult that really cares about Rook and that found family aspect was really great.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

Thank you to Netgalley, Simon and Schuster as well as Coloured Pages Book Tours for an ARC of this wonderful book.
