Unfortunately, I really did not like this book and I’m sad about it. I disliked every character but especially the main character Imani. Imani is always the victim in every situation and doesn’t listen to anybody else. She thinks bad things happen to her when actually she is the problem and when people try to tell her that, she just thinks they are bullying her. The romance plot, if you can even call it that, didn’t have any chemistry and I didn’t care about them at all. Finally, the plot was boring, the magic system was underdeveloped and I hated the characters too much to care about what happened. I will not be carrying on with the series.
