I stumbled upon this book somehow without having read the first one, but I still enjoyed it and was able to understand most of the mechanics of this fantasy world. This is a fun middle-grade read, reminiscent of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson but with a female protagonist. While this book was a bit all over the place for me, with so many magical races/creatures, numerous characters and plot threads, and so much going on, I think young readers would enjoy this series.

I would like to thank the publisher & Netgalley for an ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
