"This book gave me so many emotions, sometimes I feel that I don’t feel as sympathetic towards characters because I know it’ll all work out in the end, but this book had me at the edge of my seat rooting for the characters, finished it so quickly because I wanted to see the happy ending, loved the take on magic so simple but effective with wonderful developed characters all around besides the main. Also haven’t disliked a certain character so strongly in a while. "
