The Discovery of Magic by Michelle Madow
5.0
I'm so excited to be revisiting the Elementals world and it was fun as a reader to see how it's been going for past favorite characters. That said, this series can definitely be read before the original one. There's still a month to go for the release date and it took me less than a month to binge it so if you're reading this review before the pub date you have time to read them first.
That's the thing about Madow's writing style: every book in every series is a binge read. I cannot set her books down and it's always a joy to get lost in the worlds she creates. The Elementals Academy was no different and the MC was really relatable. (For those who've read the Vampire Wish, she reminded me a lot of Annika) The friendships also rounded out the book. It's nice to have a friend with a voice reason to help pull you out of making choices out of hormones. Learning more about other mythologies was cool too.
If I had anything a little meh about it, was how the love interest treated the mc in some parts. I'll just never be okay with using manipulation as a tactic for any reason. Oh, and the twilight references were a little too strong for my tastes. But that's a personal preference because I really disliked Edward Cullen. These two things are only enough to bring it down to a 4.5 rating, but since I read it quickly and became immersed in the book I'm rounding it up to a 5.
Thank you for the advanced copy, this is my honest review.
