3.0

I really wasn't convinced about this book at first and the only reason I didn't dnf was because I found this wonderful audiobook on youtube by a girl reading in her backyard. Her voice was so lovely and I could hear her family in the background sometimes, or her voice being muffled for a second when she adjusted her position, and twice she made a mistake pronouncing a word and did a little chuckle and I absolutely LOVED the experience; it felt so much as if she was reading the book sitting next to me and made me feel so cozy. I am sure this affects my opinion on the book- in fact I don't think I would have read past the first chapter if it wasn't for this lovely audiobook. However the story actually picks up after a while and I felt myself getting more invested and intrigued. Especially the last few chapters were really exciting and action packed. Overall a really basic fantasy story about a special girl who finds out she has powers and goes to a magical school and saves the world etc etc a lot of breaths that had been held unrealised were released throughout the book and the characters were just quite bland, mostly white, and heteronormative. I did really enjoy the interactions between Sophie and Grady and Edaline though.
