 Oh my God. I absolutely flippin’ LOVED this book! It’s honestly one of the best ones from this month (so far). I rarely read middle grade, but this one takes the cake. I freaking love Sophie. She kind of reminded me of Year 1 Harry Potter. And I think that’s why I enjoyed this book so much. The whole school system and the magic system reminded me of the series I hold most dear. I LOVE GRADY AND EDALINE!!! They deserve everything. The part about them canceling the adoption made me rather upset, but they redeemed themselves. DELLA AND ALDEN OMG!! I love them both. Chefs Kiss. Don’t even get me started on Fitz Vacker. I love him so much. DEX TOO! I honestly loved all of the characters. They had so much depth to them, and I think that’s what made me enjoy this that much more. Fitz and Keefe and swoon worthy. I won’t even deny this. But yes. I loved this book and everything about it. 4.5/5 stars, and I highly recommend it!
