There were definitely things I enjoyed about this book, but I didn't love it. I appreciated seeing a geeky heroine, and her voice was clear throughout the story. Sometimes the dialogue was really fresh and funny. I also found the romance plot compelling.
However, I noticed typos and awkward wording at several points in the story. The world felt a bit cobbled together, and I still didn't really understand the magic system by the end. The villain was also fairly one dimensional and cartoonish.
So unfortunately, I can't give this book a glowing recommendation, but I did enjoy it.
