3.0

In my opinion, the premise of this book was very fascinating, but the execution was lacking. I struggled a lot with the character development of Lennon, but also the supporting characters. Truthfully, I didn’t care enough about any of them, and some of their actions didn’t make sense with the information given. 

This is a rare scenario where stretching this story out to a duology might’ve made more sense. I needed more time with the characters, the coursework, and the magic system.
