Despite the incredibly unique way of looking at magic and worlds that u can easily believe is true and real, the first book was bordering on boring. It wasnt boring but it was missing something. I couldnt identify with any of the characters, it felt like they had no real personality. It was still amazing to read through and I couldnt wait to read more of this new take on magic and how it all works.
This second book was much better, altho the first quarter or so is much the same as book 1. Halway in u start to get somewhere and it gets really interesting and exciting. There is finally a character with a personality, and the previous characters finally start to become something. It wasnt until the last quarter or so it had my heart beating in excitement and I cant wait to read book 3 now!
Sadly this second book has a lot of flaws. Both in spelling and 1 or 2 grammar errors, but it also has flaws in the time line of the story, that once u spot them, will annoy u endlessly as a reader. Particularly the last quarter of the book, when it starts to get really amazing, the editor forgets how to use the right past and present term words several times, such as become where it should have been became.
Because of all these flaws, in the last half/quarter of the book I give 4 stars instead of 5.
A series well worth reading with an amazing world, despite the poor editing!
