Nice idea for a story, poorly executed
This book is in dire need of some copywriting & editing. It is filled with so many amateur mistakes it gives the impression the book was written in a hurry. So much repetition, We set The Table, We washed Up for Dinner, We ate dinner, We set the table… that adds nothing to the story. In fact, I would say this is an amusing short story, with much too much padding added to extend it into a book.

Just confusing
I love fantasy novels. But this book just left me feeling like huge, important chunks of the story were cut out for some unknown reason. I really tried but I couldn't even make it halfway through because I was so confused. Self publishing is too often not a good thing. Publishers wouldn't pick up your story for a reason.

it's ok - definitely for young readers i'd say, repetitious & full of inane descriptions

The story was good but a bit schmalzy with Mara and Cole kissy kissing all the time but the magic and the other characters are good.

I liked this because of the multi generational history, but not a lot stuck with me.

Starts in a dream
Yes it's that bad. Then gets worse. it.jumps around around and you don't know what is going on, even worse, you don't care.

DNF. described objects and motions the FMC did but didn't explain the magic in an understandable way. it was mostly confusing and dialog was boring and didn't add to the story

I enjoyed the story but think the characters should have been a few years older (she's turning 18 in 3 months).
