I really enjoyed the first book in this duology. It was fun, the magic system was cool, and the relationship build/tension really worked for me.

The second book was harmless and lighthearted, but it lacked plot. One of the main characters felt incredibly bland. The others were honestly slightly annoying. I didn’t feel this way in the first book. It was all just a little ‘meh’.

A shame because while the relationships were the main focus (and that’s fine), I wanted a little more.
