I found this randomly while looking through audiobooks on google play. It sounded fun to me and i got sucked right into it!

The audiobook is about an american boy who had no idea of the wizarding world. He got a letter halfway the year and got into Hogwarts. He got sorted into Slytherin in the same year as the golden trio. He has to navigate through the first year while there is a serpent on the loose that patrifieds halfbloods and muggleborns. Atop of that he opened the chamber and can speak parsletongue! 

I thought this was a very fun take on the first book of the Harry Potter books! It still follows kind of the same story line of the original book but from the perspective of a slytherin who may or may not be the heir of slytherin. 

The names for obvious reasons were changed to names that made me snort every time i heard it. The story is humoristic and the person who reads it has a very nice voice to listen to!

this book is one of my favourites that i got to read this year!

The world building felt so magical! From shadowmarkets to a secret library! The way it was written felt like i was there myself, seeing the scenes happen!

I am obsessed with the writing style of this writer as everything feels written in such a great poetic way! 

Characters were so greatly written! The chemistry between them is written great and absolutely there. It was like i felt it through the pages! Reading it was easy and fast, got through it so quickly!

Overall a great read and i would for sure reread this book again! Thank you Laura for having me on the team for this book series and i so cant wait to read the 2nd book😍
