emilyvelveteen 's review for:

The Book of Azrael by Amber V. Nicole
3.5

I really loved that we are starting with an established character and that it’s not her being forced into a world or discovering the powers etc, Dianna is everything you want in an FMC

The ending I loved and it is making me really excited for where the rest of the series is going

For the negatives, there did feel like a lot of telling vs showing with dialogue and description that just kept taking me out of the story, sometimes it also veered a bit on info dumping

The magic system felt complex but without any rules it made it feel a bit messy at times, especially when trying to work out what they could do in terms of powers

Overall I did have a great time with this and can’t wait to continue
