4.0

The best way I can describe this to anyone is a college-age Harry Potter, with fae, elemental magic, political intrigue, dark magic, funny and loveable sidekicks, enemies to lovers, bully romance, forbidden romance, and some SPICE (not so much in this first book, but it gets spicier as the series continues, I promise!).

If ANY of this appeals to you, get on reading this now!!! Seriously! The plot is great, the characters loveable, there's drama but also I laugh my ass off at the wonderfully ridiculous humor these writers bring to the table.

Seriously I think this series saved me from full-on depression during this pandemic. READ IT!!!!
