A fun and fast read! Imagine Harry Potter x Avatar the Last Airbender. I loved the friendships, the mystery, and the adventure. The author did a great job creating memorable characters even with a big cast! Lots of sweet, laughable moments and positive messages.

Some of the plot points in the first half felt similar to HP, but the story came into its own through the second half with an intriguing maze in the mansion and a missing box that holds the power of the five elements. There were a lot of fun, new inventions and world building details. It was so easy to just keep reading!

The author laid down so many interesting clues and mysteries related to Aliyah's family and the magic in the world. Well done, Lucy!
