When I first started reading this book I thought it would definitely get a 4-star rating. The writing is magnificent and I found myself thinking about the book when I was not reading it. I loved the world building, the characters, and it was so refreshing to get a non-magical perspective of a magical world. But then I didn’t really resonant with how the magic was explained in the story? And I ended up docking stars from my review because the ending was extremely unsatisfying. Everything happened a bit too quick and I was so confused by
Spoilerthe scene in the classroom where Alexandria exploded Dylan? Did she do it or was it Tabby? Idk very messy to me.


Overall, still enjoyable and such an easy read. Have recommended it to my magic loving friends!
