Considering the length of this book, there was way too little world-building and literally no character development. The protagonists' decisions didn't make any sense and everything felt random?

Stunning. This book is about taking back your power and embracing your magic. It’s well-written, interesting, and powerful. The chapters are short, the characters are interesting, and the plot is exciting.
