I liked it but from what I heard, I had high expectations which weren’t met. 
It’s cute and easy to read but the repetition of, for example,  information about the characters was annoying to me. 
I thought I was going to underline everything and will immediately buy the next books but no. I’m okay having read this one and no more. 
I don’t regret it and I enjoyed reading it, but I won’t necessarily read the next ones or reread it. 
I recommend it to someone who wants a quick and easy read that still conveys characters with complex stories in a world full of mysteries.
