this is my second Jessica Wayne Jessica Wayne book. Knowing I gave Accidental Fae 2 stars, I was skeptical but hopeful because Warrior of Magick should be my cup of chaotic tea. Assassins, governing bodies acting shady, arch-nemesis', like it should have been a hit in the bag.

When sifting through my thoughts and why this book wasn't clicking. What I kept going back to how it felt like the fourth or fifth draft but not the final, published novel. I mean that with all the respect in the world. It is like a house, with a great foundation- a great world, interesting governing system, complex characters and enemies-to-lovers. The groundwork is solid, the frames are sturdy but the what was made from such beginnings was a boring, standard, run-of-the-mill house. It was like someone just pointed at a showroom house and said I'll take it. There is no flavour. There is no spice. Just designed in millennial grey. Am I taking this metaphor too far? Who cares its my review and the girls that get it get it. iykyk.
