3.0

I don’t know if it’s the reading slump, but I’m disappointed. This book was incredibly boring. I’m surprised it’s so popular. The audio didn’t really anything, and it actually hindered when the narrate leaned hard into an accent to the point that I could barely understand what he said.

I didn’t mind not having the pictures, since they were what made me DNF the book a few years ago. They don’t bring anything to the story anyways.

Even listening on the down low while grocery shopping and stuff, I found a way to be bored by it. Definitely won’t be reading the rest of the series.

Well it was a interesting book to say the least. I enjoyed it. There was a good amount of slow parts that made me want to put it down but when you get to the exicting parts you we’ll want to read more. The ending was good and a excellent way to begin the sequel. I loved the characters magical abilities and I would like to see more.

The entire storytelling is genius. At first glance it seems like a regular book. But once you grasp the hidden meaning it opens up a whole new world. Absolutely incredible. 
The characters are delightful and I love how they each have a backstory.

not sure if this counts, as Emma and Jacob are both 16 physically, but Emma is technically the same age as Jacob's grandfather...
