The Chrysalis Key by E.P. Bali

5.0

I was really excited to read the Chrysalis Key, a book by an Australian Author, set in my backyard of Brisbane, dark Academia fantasy with lots of magic! And it didn’t disappoint! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The characters are great and all 5 kids are diverse and have very distinct personalities and goals and you really get to know all of them. The world building and magic system make sense and are wonderful and complex. Overall a wonderful and exciting debut into YA!

The story was vast and sometimes a little slow and there was a lot of information and side characters to keep track of. Which makes sense since this book will set up 6 more books in The Travellers Series.
Overall I had a great time reading this book and can’t wait to see what happens next. (those cliffhangers!)
