I really want to rate this book 4 stars but there are just too many things I didn’t click with. I really like the premise and the bones are there for a good story!
However, the pacing felt off, the book itself needed a bit more editing, and we didn’t spend enough time developing the characters with the plot. We also spent very little time in the magical library which I was sad about, and what I thought was going to be the main premise of the book! The twist I very much saw coming but it does lead to what I hope is an interesting sequel.
For a debut novel, I think it’s still a good book. I hope the second book improves and I look forward to reading it!
