A review by elizafiedler
Magic and Mayhem by S. Usher Evans

5.0

Evans' strength is always in her amazing characters. Lexie is an amazing protagonist; complicated, sarcastic, caring and self-doubting at times, and really, really funny. The minor characters also get more and more complex and interesting the more page time they get, especially the ones who seemed to be clear-cut villains in the first book of the series. I continue to love how magic works in this universe, and how frustrating it is for Lexie to try to use it without a lot of outside guidance. That, I think is a key part of what makes the world of this book and Lexie's character so realistic and believable. Can't wait for the next installment!
