One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig
3.25
adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Overall, this is a cool book. The magic system is unique…there are characters you love, and some you hate. However, the love story felt forced, rushed, and unnecessary…could have been a REALLY good slow burn. And some of the references to facial expressions are repetitive. With that said…the plot is super neat and the end was a cliffhanger. Would read book 2…what annoyed wasn’t enough to avoid the series
