Alright, so I don't know why I waited so long to read this book. I bought this sometime in 2015 or maybe early 2016 around when it came out and before the second one came out because I was really interested in the book and I was planning on buddy reading it with a friend. Well, that never happened, and instead I read it this week and I really did enjoy this. It definitely reads like a 2015 YA fantasy, but I still loved the friendships within this book and the tension between love interests made me so happy. I also liked that we got four different points of view, but I did prefer some over others, but I still loved the characters. I am already planning on ordering the rest of them soon and might try to binge the rest of the series during my spring break next week. I was fascinated by the magic system and hope to learn even more about it and the different powers. I cannot wait to see where the story goes from here and I hope that I really enjoy it.
