I had really high hopes for this book. I'm always on the lookout for the next book that will give me the same cozy feelings that Harry Potter did but unfortunately, this was not one of those books. I won't go into too much detail, many of the other reviews already touched on the same issues that I had with it: I didn't enjoy the writing style, the pacing was pretty bad, the characters felt flat and un-relatable and overall, it felt like it was trying too hard to match the same quirky wit that Harry Potter had. Honestly, I wasn't even much fan of the world-building. At about 65% I pretty much skimmed the remainder of the book and will probably not be attempting a re-read.

Plot: 2/5
Characters: 1/5
Writing: 1/5
Atmosphere: 2/5
Overall: 1.5/5 (rounded up to 2 for goodreads)
