This was a lot more enjoyable than the title gives (random I know but the title turned me off for so long). I liked the premise of the world and the mystery of the parental figures. I figured out most things before the main characters did but it was still fun to read

This was such an unexpected gem. Came for the magical library, stayed for the characters and plot twists.

It was an entertaining read, I liked the overall plot and the writing was fairly good. I wasn’t super invested in the characters, except Nicholas who found funny and confident in a self-deprecating way. The other characters weren’t bad, just not developed to their full potential. Specially Joanna and Collins, who were supporting characters disguising as contributing main characters. I appreciate I didn’t have to eye roll their “love story” because it was left in the start of an attraction and potential of more. This was a comfy thriller that I wouldn’t mind readings a follow up story, but it’s perfectly fine as a standalone.

Super fun, very engrossing and enjoyable. It starts slow but the pace pcks up slowly and the last third is very tense and exciting. None of the revelations were surprising, but it was still satisfying as each question was answered. I also loved how the characters came together and the complexity of the relationships between them.

loved it. gruesome at parts, but the whole thing was exactly what I was hoping for when I plucked it off the library shelf. adventure, magic, sisters, secrets, a mystery, bonus Antarctica content????, herbs, women doing 92% of the interesting things in the story. chef's kiss.

I almost put this book down when the beginning was slow but it really grew on me. I mean magic books! But also the characters and the mysteries were well done
