Slow, but Interesting

This book has a plot that’s slow to get started, but it definitely leaves me excited for the next book. I want to see the world expanded and understand more about the characters, especially the king

Solid Read

An enjoyable book. Starts off a little slow, but it's fun and witty, and filled with way more detail about scent then most of us really think about. The romance, though it's not really something I particularly care about, was also cute.

A Gripping Novel About the Bonds of Family

This book tells an awesome narrative about what it's like to not only face racism in America, but having to face a bunch of magic men as well. Through several stories about one family, you will see them come together to face threat after threat. Sometimes you'll be shouting at your book about what an idiot this person is, and other times you'll be amazed by the creative solutions they find to their problems. I highly recommend this one.

Improved as I continued

At first I was going to give this book no higher than a 3.7, but as I continued with it, I became more and more interested in the characters and what they were building. At first I felt like I wasn't clued in on the plans and strategies of the characters, but despite that I still enjoyed this book.
