The premise and the worldbuilding of this book is beautiful from it’s mysterious, dark and rotten magic surrounding the main characters. Where the book falls short is the main characters, the main character Iris has little to no personality apart from wanting to be like her sister and constantly doubting herself. Tyler’s character was also insufferably flat (I’m hot and have an attitude) even though the writer tried to give them more depth with the backstory. The plot started interesting but was dragged out for so long because the magical sisters were fighting against the thought of magic being real for most of the book… The end just tied few remaining questions together, but other than that it was mostly lukewarm.
