It's a pretty decent read. It kept me hooked long enough to finish this book. The story/plot is solid for the most part. However, the romance progressed way too fast. It just didn't fit the enemies to lovers trope like it was trying to do. The tone was fun and humorous with the banter between characters entertaining. It was done pretty well! Most of the characters were interesting characters and well written, except for one. My biggest gripe, character wise, was Alosa. While the writing style is pretty decent, Alosa just doesn't work with said writing style. She's too cocky, annoying, and very Mary Sue. Yes, we know she's got the magical powers. No, I don't care that you'd bring it up every chance she got. She feels like she's supposed to be portrayed as a badass, but she feels more like a cocky, whiny, entitled princess more than anything. The other characters were much more entertaining and I was more attached to them than Alosa. While I did enjoy the series, I'm tempted to continue the series via borrowing from my library instead of buying the next books in the series.
