Nocturna

"DNF at 88%—not because this book was bad in any way though. I just lost interest, but I know I’d have liked this a lot more if I’d read it when I was younger. I really liked how seamlessly the topic of the harm of colonization was woven into this story."

"A less well written rip off of A Darker Shade Of Magic. I can't believe the author hasn't been sued or something, it's incredible how much was clearly stolen. "

"A pretty good read. A lighter, easier-digested version of A Darker Shade of Magic. Like if you wanted to read Schwab’s series but only had a day to read it. There are some minor continuity errors, but those are easy enough to overlook if you’re just looking for something to burn through in a day or two at the beach. If you liked the Darker Shade of Magic series and want more, Nocturna can give you a quick fix. I feel like it could’ve been more unique and more polished, but c’est la vie. Solid B-"

"A bit slow and pretty predictable. "
