<I>Funny and entertaining, if you don't think too much about the plot and world building.

"<U>Three Mages and a Margarita</u>" is a good book to read when you're in the mood for a short, light story.
The main characters are a colourful, big-hearted group of friends. They are the heart of the story; if you don't like them, you won't like this book.
In my opinion, the plot is secondary and too convenient for my taste. The plot armor of the main character made me roll my eyes a few times.
There isn't much world building either, as readers learn about the world with the strangely uncurious main character. Honestly, I found baffling how disinterested and reckless she was.
My feelings and thoughts may be influenced by several fantasy books I've read about magic pacts and Faeries, but how on hearth did she think it was a good idea to sign a contract with Mages who she knew nothing about?! She could have signed up for a life of servitude for all she knew!
Anyway, apart from these few things, it's a fun book to read.
