nightrays 's review for:
The Last Magician
by Lisa Maxwell
- time-travelling heist with magic and secret organizations? had me hooked from the start
- i genuinely loved all the povs and thought the pacing was great, wasn’t bored despite this book being quite long
- i loved the idea of a barrier existing that kept people with magic from leaving the city
- also liked that the magic system (although a bit vague) did have limitations and a heavy price from the very beginning
- i have to say i didn’t anticipate any of the twists and turns which was very refreshing and did keep me on the edge of my seat all throughout the story
- what didn’t work for me though (and the reason i’m not giving this 5 stars) was the romance subplot; it wasn’t terrible, but despite the fact that i cared about both characters individually i just couldn’t care about their developing relationship. it took a lot of my excitement away from the story
- that being said i loved how the story was layered and i am looking forward to continuing this series
