This book really kept me guessing. I didn't know what was going to happen until it was already happening throughout the entire ending of this book and I loved it so much.
I liked the idea. The magic system was so fascinating and I loved learning about it. I liked that it kind of didn't have any limits to what it could do but rather the limit lies in if there was enough scribe blood to do it.
I liked the characters too. I was immediately invested in Esther and Pearl's relationship and was rooting for them through the end. Jo's scenes were less interesting to me though. I found myself wanting to get to Esther's scenes while going through Jo's. I think there just wasn't as much going on in Jo's part of the story. The stuff with her mom was necessary but it definitely wasn't as interesting to me since it was obvious to me that her mom was under an NDA once that was introduced to us. I did enjoy Nicholas's story as well. I do think he was introduced a little late though. I think I had gone through 2 or 3 hours of the audiobook before he was introduced and it took me by surprise. Until that point I thought it was just going to be the two sisters throughout the story but then we suddenly got his POV and I was a little confused for a bit. I did like his story though and

his struggle with getting away from the toxic manipulation his uncle was putting him through while also loving him as a father-figure.

It felt realistic and I really appreciated what his POV added to the story.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this book especially to anyone who loves magic and books.
