4,5* rounded to 5
I was a huge fan of Magic in Manhattan and loved this spin-off
It's an entertaining and gripping story that kept me turning pages and I enjoyed catching up with characters from the main series.
Wesley was not a very likeable characters in the first half of the book: arrogant, entitled and grumpy. It's possible to see the under the mask but I wasn't a fan at the beginning.
I loved Jade and Sebastian and appreciated the character development.
The world building and the magic system are as good as always, the plot is well crafted and the storytelling excellent.
I can't wait to read the next book by this author.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
