This was an interesting read and different from anything I’ve ever read! The concept was great, but the execution was mediocre at best. The very slow start makes me rate it lower, but if you can make it 60% of the way through without DNFing, the story really picks up and you’re in for a wild ride! I love the aspects of magic in this book that leave you wondering “is it real?” Overall, a quirky, short read that crosses through time in a fun way.
