mysterious fast-paced

  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

I kept seeing this book & series pop up on Bookstagram and after reading the synopsis I thought it sounded right up my street.

Whilst the premise is interesting and I quite liked the unique magic system I have to say that unfortunately there isn't much substance to this. 

I didn't really connect with the characters and I kind of actively disliked the love interest. 

I also think this book could do with a go over from an editor because there were multiple times when I had to go back and reread a page because it just didn't make sense. 

And sadly the 'romance' just wasn't there for me. I didn't feel any chemistry between the characters and you are just told repeatedly how attracted they were to each other. 

I think the author maybe tried to cram too much into a novella and that's why it feels rushed and a bit all over the place. 

I've heard good things about their other books so i may try them but i think I'm done with this particular series.
