Truly a very fun story. I was into it basically from the start. The magical school setting with a good rivalry will always win me over and so it did here again. And then there was a wonderful adventure with glorious character moments. I’ve grown incredibly fond of Leo and Grimm. They are both idiots in their own lovable way. Their relationship reminded me of some amazing fanfiction I read and I mean this as the highest compliment. 

The world building was very cool and I loved the magic system. It feels like a lot of thought flowed into it and I can definitely appreciate it a lot! 

I already cannot wait to read the next book in series and see everything develop even more. Especially with the promise of a great relationship and very interesting world building. 

The audiobook format lent itself well to the book. The narrator brought the characters to live beautifully. However, it was extremely slow so I definitely needed to increase the speed. 

Thank you Netgalley and Hachette Audio for the arc of the audiobook!
