I liked this book. It was a good debut and I’ll want to read from this author again. I’m such a big fantasy reader that I sometimes forget just how nice a light fantasy/magical realism can be. 

I did, however, really want this to be a 5 star book, and while I did really enjoy it, it just didn’t grasp onto that 5 star rating that I wanted it to. There wasn’t anything wrong with the book, I think I was just expecting a lot more from what I got from the synopsis and comps – perhaps more action. But that didn’t deter me too much from liking it, which is good. 

I liked the three main characters, but not one specifically stood out to me – but that was also good. I like it when I don’t have an immediate favourite. I liked the bond they created with each other and the romance between Theo and Jaime. It was sweet and I liked how it was friends first, then the romance.
