The first half of the book is a slow burn romance, while the 2nd half is an adventure. Both blend together well to make an enjoyable story.

Not a lot happens in this issue. It moved the plot along, but overall a generic middle issue. I am not a fan of how they have drawn the sirens. Their faces especially look off

A good ending to the series. Towards the end of the book it is filled with a good amount of monologues. They fill in details but are less exciting.

Fun and exciting story about a Wizard who can bake! The story is light, but also deep at the same time. The world is vibrant, fun and full of details.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 30%.
The story is very confusing with the back and forth between time periods. I have no idea who the characters are or why I should care about them.

An interesting start to the series. The OG three flow well and seem more civil and friendly than the past.

The switch of view points was a lot of fun and I enjoyed seeing the world through the perspective of a type writer. Allie did a great job making Olivetti curious about the world and naive but also very smart and intelligent. A great short story about love, family and forgiveness.
