Very cute kids book I read because V.E Schwab wrote it. It probably would have been a 4.5 star read if it weren’t for the insane amount of Harry Potter references. Every time I thought it was done, there was another one, and it made me groan. 

This was written before the average person knew JKR was the worst, so it dates the book immediately. But I think even as a kid the sheer amount of Harry Potter references would have gotten to me.
