3.0

 I have just finished reading  Modern Divination.
I loved the premises of this book; however, the execution let me down as it is prolonged-paced
It's a very character-driven book with significant character development, and I loved that we have a diverse case. While reading this book, we can see one of the substantial points of focus is the character flaws in part of the book. It felt so long, and I struggled to read. I felt there could have been more of a plot. I still don't understand that magic system in this world. It is left unexplained for the most part. I am curious to see where the story will go. It feels more like a cosy fantasy with a hint of romance with the tropes of forced proximity whilst following Auerila, whos curated a perfect human life alongside her serious magical life.
