I was obsessed with this series in high school. It's a quick read and has the usual amount of firsts and tugging at your heart strings that mark a best-selling YA novel.

The book was well-written and descriptive, however it was a bit slow at points and sometimes read as dry. Overall, I think it's worth a read if you like books about magic and dark academia vibes. Stick with it.
