There's nothing seriously wrong with this book. It just didn't click with me. I don't typically like slow stories and this was so slow. I felt like very little was happening and what was happening felt very easy and convenient. I know this is a story meant for young readers, but I think kids should have books where the main character has some setbacks.
There was a lack of world building as well. I never felt like I understood the setting or magic system.
This is a fine middle grade fantasy that's a little bit spooky.
