A review by sheyenne
I'm a Gay Wizard by V.S. Santoni
3.0
Really a 2.5
This book has a great premise. It's fast paced and kept me intrigued throughout. I love the idea of it. However, the book fell short with a lack a uniqueness and any real magic. The characters, while a great representation for LGBTQ diversity, have very little draw to them. Their conversations, while filled with contemporary dialogue, felt shallow, rather than new or fresh.
Even though they attend a magic school, there really isn't any magic practiced or experienced. With little to no magic or interest, Without the magic, I quickly lost the interest that had brought me to this title in the first place. I was left waiting for a promise that was never fulfilled.
it was difficult to care about the world or characters in them. It had such potential and I was excited for it. But, despite being an interesting and easy read, it left me wanting more from the characters to the plot details.
