I feel like the concept was really interesting and cool but it lacked depth, I would have liked the author to explore the magical concept more because it really was interesting especially with White London. Now I didn't really care for the characters at all , I thought they were kind of one dimensional, especially the twins, I find they were so cruel without a resonance kind of like your classic disney villain. My thoughts change  but only with Kell, all that stuff with his brother make me actually  care, I like him and Lila as a duo, they're cute,  but I feel like Lila really lacked a purpose and I know she wants to be a pirate and all that, but I feel like she's missing something, even though she's fun. Also, the ending was rushed and a bit stupid, the solution came out of nowhere.

It felt so real, like the band existed and I was reading the rise and fall of a real band and I loved that. Karen and Graham broke my heart, Billy, Camilla and Daisy had me stressed all the time and sad for Daisy and Camilla, Billy I don't know what to think, I hate him a little. I loved Karen and Camilla's friendship and also the little there was of Camilla and Daisy. The ending was pretty good and kind of bittersweet.

This was a really really really great book!! It is funny, emotional haves found family, great ships it is the whole package!
I have an enormous love for this characters that are each really unique and especial and are really relatable in different ways. The saga was a 5 stars really good almost as good as the og. Magnus was an incredible main character up there with Percy. Alex and Magnus were the cutest thing to read and that was a GREAT first kiss, I screamed. And I loved the ending 🤍

This was really good!!! I don't think 3 book is enough for me. I loved Alex she/him was a super interesting character, funny and with a great history, I loved her dynamic with Magnus, they were really cute. The gang was AMAZING I LOVE them so much, I felt so sad for Hearth, I hate his father. Loved Sam and Amir they were so cute <3 And Blitz was impecable as usual. SO EXCITED AND NERVOUS FOR THE NEXT BOOK!! And can't wait for Percy and Magnus to meet!!

3.0

I just feel that this is very repetitive and at times hard to read (it took me so long to finish) the first half is the best part definitly, really interesting. I know that she became this despite all the men in her life but I just feel that this parts were not interesting excepto for the dédalo one but I think thats because he was not the only thing happening, there was also her sister and the minotaur part wich was good. I feel like they should have focused a little bit more in the magic aspect, the last chapter was really good and a great ending.

AAAA This book was soo great i loved it. I really liked pippa as the main character she was funny and relatable super intelligent too, i was the biggest fan of the dynamic that she and ravi had even though the "romance" was definitly like not that important i was still rooting for them and loving all their interactions. AND THE MYSTERY WAS SOOO GREAT!!!

I definitely didn't see it coming!!!! and i was so shocked, like i suspected of everyone except caras dad, i even suspected of andy and i thought this would be kind of like a gone girl type of thing  but it wasn't and it was GREAT!!! i love to be this engaged in a story and can't wait to read the next book!!

Well it was fine i mean nothing amazing, i just never got that invested in the story and at times it was hard to read. I liked Jasmine thought, she was funny. The romance was ok? i guess.
