The premise is great, but the ending is flat. I loved the hidden magic. One of my favorite tropes is generational magic as well. Fueding families definitely gave that Romeo and Juliet vibe. There was a lot that was left lacking with Nick and Joan in the end. I wanted more explained about the royals, the court, her magic, the magic world. The ending felt too abrupt and convenient. Even now knowing there will be a sequel it still felt too quick and unexplained.
