I think this is more of a 3.75 I think there were some parts of the end I loved and some I didn't love, and I felt like it could have been a little faster paced at times but I did like the dynamic between Kell & Connor. I've seen a lot of reviews that say that this is a rip off of ADSOM and I completely disagree, two characters can have the same name and not be a rip off, I also think the role of the Prince's best friend and protector is a common one in fantasy books, and I feel like these roles are different enough. Not every book with a magic school of wizards is a rip off of HP. These are common tropes but it's not the same as ripping off a book. I also think the magic system is entirely different in this book and ADSOM
