Spells and Sensibility by K.S. Murphy, K.L. Noone

3.0

This was pretty great with good tension crippled with a horrible ending. Why couldn’t this have ended with Henry learning to use his magic again and start recovering from the war? Why did this have to start a bunch of conspiracy nonsense against the college? It already laid great groundwork in the potential of Theo meeting Henry’s family (which was horribly rushed and made no sense) and Henry finding his place in the world again.

This should have been a self-contained story with a HFN ending. Instead we get this massive conspiracy looming over the ending to spin up a new trilogy. After finishing this, I just feel cheated.
