So, imagine season one of the show 'Spartacus', but ol boy is a 17 year old girl and there's a whole tonne of magic.
At first I thought I was going crazy noticing the similarities, so had to check if others said the same.
Then I was hooked because of the AUDACITY to create basically the exact same story... I just had to see if it continued the whole book.
And then by the end I was just hooked... and the twists at the end... oh boy.
I almost want to pick up the next book straight away (even though I try to take breaks when reading series).
So, 90% of the book was no surprise, just a good storyline being recycled... but the ending did make up for that, and all in all I thoroughly enjoyed it.
