The characters felt a bit one dimensional, we didn't learn much about any of them except for their abilities. This even extends to the main characters, I thought Jacob would have some depth especially as Riggs detailed Jacob's mental health issues in the beginning but his struggles just disappear and he copes remarkably well with everything else that happens.
I found it easy to read, engaging and would recommend to 10-14 year olds. A great quirky, paranormal fantasy book.

Vibe
It started off quite good, with a mysterious vibe (not sth I’d read personally but I’m looking for sth new and I can understand how ppl can like this book).
Plot and world building
The plot is quite questionable and the pace is inconsistent
Characters
Jacob
I first thought he was a man in his late 20s even tho he’s 15. The way he thinks and acts and talks is not how teenagers usually talk. I’m aware that some teenagers are more serious/mature than others but he isn’t that.
He then went on to
He’s quite thick for someone who is supposed to be smart. His plans are really poorly thought out and he really has no other talent than
Emma
I do not like her at all. She’s 88. I know that she’s in this time loop thingy but she just continued to date her ex’s grandson which is just weird and their relationship seems really toxic too.
