This book is a lot of fun !, I’m surprised, I’ve found a great story with an amazing amount of diverse characters and alot of magic.

In general, you never know what you’ll find when you read a short book, much less if it’s fantasy. Of course the lack of development of the world can be a problem, in this case I would have liked to know a little bit more, but even so, I don’t think that this has affected at all my enjoyment when reading it. So leaving that aside, I think you shouldn’t be fooled by the book size, I think it has enough content and is really good, we have friendship, betrayal, magic, revenge, love and my favorite thing PLOT TWIST!

The writing style is fantastic and this along with the characters were executed in a successfully way 

At first I felt that I was bombarded with a lot of information about the paranormal and fantastic aspects of the plot, from the powers to the creatures, and this was certainly a bit confusing, but once you know more about the characters’ stories, from their points of view, how their lives work and how they connect with each other, everything is taking more sense and is really an addictive reading. All the time I felt that I was inside a chapter of a TV series which I didn’t want to end.

I think this short book would be a great start for young readers who are just starting with the genre and don’t want to read a very dense or full of descriptions fantasy book. This is short and it’s simple but it works perfectly and that’s what it’s about

The ending is quite open, which doesn’t surprise me since this type of short books always tend to have a sequel, so I can’t wait for the second part !. If it has everything that this first part had, it will be Incredible
