A solid 4.
I loved the characters and their interactions. I was constantly laughing and excited to see what they did. Which was quite an adventure.
The writing broke submersion for me in a few places during transitional areas and some action scenes. That includes an akwardly described sex scene. But im strangely mostly upset that MC speed dialed a person by pressing 1. That is always voice-mail. You cant speed dial a person using that number. That and the German guy runs a decent Mexican food restaurant just...I cant accept it. Magic sure. This no.
I'd have loved to have read this after a few more rounds of edits. I think the the love story and evil wizard plot could be intertwined more. And it would be a beautiful intriguing book.
