i think i liked the first book better, but that’s partially because i read it in a shorter amount of time and therefore felt more intense...? i dont know haha
also i was spoiled for the big thing that happens at the end so i didn’t get all the feeellllsss :(((((( 
anyhow, victoria schwab is constantly surprising me! i finally got my hands on the shades of magic trilogy and I CANT WAIT TO READ IT
