I'm a Gay Wizard by V.S. Santoni
2.0
I was given an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for a review.
review up on my blog Inkorkeys
First things first: THAT cover! amazing, full points for that awesome, colourful and artistic cover.
On to the rest.
I’m a Gay Wizard is a wattpad book, and I don’t know if I subconsciously went into this one with some preconceived prejudice about what a wattad book is, i.e. After *cough cough*, but I didn’t really enjoy it.
I don’t think there was anything inherently wrong with the plot of I’m a Gay Wizard but I did think it read like an early draft of a novel. One that needed some re-writes focused on the writing style. For me, it felt, dare I say it…like some good fanfic of an otherwise awesome book. again, I don’t think that is necessarily a huge negative mark against the book but, it just wasn’t what I was looking for right now. And perhaps this is mostly why I wasn’t a huge fan, because like I said before, the premise itself was good, interesting, intriguing. I’m here for wizards and I am especially here for gay wizards, because I feel like that’s never a combination we see in literature. I could be wrong but I’ve never come across a gay wizard. That’s why I was originally so excited to get this one from netgalley. So Santoni definitely gets points for originality, but misses the mark on the execution, in my opinion.
