I haven't updated this in a while :) I want to try and finish it before the year but I keep going back and forth. There was a bit that was like "there is a balance of light and dark magic in the universe" that made me pause a bit. I'm usually good with magic that's clearly good v evil, but I'm a little bit on the fence here. I do love the characters and feel like I want to give the story a chance but I don't know.

Gaius & Lisa as mentor/mentee is everything I wanted in that trope <333

GAIUS FINALLY 😁😍🤩⭐

ran out of characters but also - LOOK AT THAT COVER ISN'T IT STUNNING??? I want a hardcover RIGHT NOW (it's really expensive so I'm not getting it lol but I WANT ONE)

Thoughts so far:

* wish Lisa a wee bit less comfortable with lying/fibbing (doesn't happen a lot but I'm meh in that)
*the prose is CHEF'S KISS (granted, sometimes it stands out to me a bit more because the POV character - Lisa - is supposed to be like 13, and 13-year-old me did not have that vocab or complexity of inner thought/language - if that makes sense)

But I am definitely hooked so far!!!!

HEYYYY LOOK WHO GOT A NEW AUDIOBOOK FOR THE CAR!!! 😜 Brace yourself because it looks like I might turn into a fangirl over this one (last time I did that, it was over the Valley of Dragons audiobook which had me crying/laughing/squealing and sorting through an insane amount of bookmarks so I could write an slightly unhinged review. So yeah. Forewarned is forearmed...so here's your warning ;) )
