Reads With Friends discussion

Just starting up! The reflection of Harry Potter this early is a bit comical. Excited to see what she does with it!

But lots of differences, too. I'm imagining the Mage to look like Errol Flynn.

You can tell this is loosely based on Harry Potter. The further I get the more it expands away from that story. This is suppose to be a play on tropes and I can see that already!

Just finished Day 1 reading! I think it's really interesting so far. I'm not grabbed in 100% but I am enjoying a new book by Rainbow :) It's laid out differently than I thought it would be - I didn't anticipate so many perspectives.

I'm wondering who Lucy is. Maybe I read too fast over a part that describes her. I'm trying to figure out her role in the story. Overall the first 12 chapters seem ok, but I'm not at edge of my seat yet.

I agree with the parallels to Harry Potter - makes me wonder what J.K. Rowling thinks of this. I will admit I went in with semi-low expectations of this book. I was one of a few that thought Fangirl was okay but didn't live up to the hype for me. I did however really enjoy Eleanor and Park. I liked her adult books too but I didn't love them. But I'm curious to see how this goes I wondered if she'd put on the relationship that was wanted between Simon and Baz in Fangjrl.

I'm really liking it so far.... It makes me want to reread Harry Potter though lol. I think Lucy may be someone trying to come through the "veil" ? Just a thought.
