3.5

These books have heavy mystery/detective storylines. If you enjoy that and fantasy/romance this is the perfect serie for you. 

I was personally a bit dissapointed that this leaned so much toward mystery/detective because I didn't expect it to be like this and I think it should have been made clear in the description. I do enjoy mystery/thriller type of books, but I personlly find all the detective work in this book a bit boring.  It's dragging on and on with about 700! pages of detective work. I am more interested in the action scenes and the magic. I find these very entertaining! 

And maybe it's an unpopular opinion, but I don't really care (that deeply) about the romance in these books. I am way more interested in the friendships!

The book would have been better if it was shorter in my opinion, but o verall it was an entertaining read and I definitely want to pick up the next book! Especially because of that ending!
