An Unkindness of Magicians by Kat Howard
dark
mysterious
fast-paced
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.75
Really enjoyed the plot and got through the book pretty quickly thanks to the great pacing.
However, I personnally struggled to connect to the characters or feel invested in the story.
I guess they all seemed a little bit too cool for me to find them believable??
I did feel quite a lot of empathy for them, I just had difficulties liking them because they never felt real in my mind (I can even like antagonists so that's not the issue)
I genuienly think most people will love this book tho!
