between the dry narration and the writing except for some language used this didn’t feel like the nineteen twenties. 

i liked the characters and i liked the magic. it was simple story and i like simple. what i didn’t like is the romance. this a three book series why did it need to be rushed like this? the rory trusted arthur so fast was illogical and made no sense for his character.

what i liked about this doesn’t make me want to cont the series unfortunately.
