Hannah and Gemma’s friendship, however, was something I could completely identify with and love. Moving on to characters, I loved the relationship between Hannah and Gemma! A lot of books that get praised for having strong friendships (instead of just focusing on romantic relationships) I oftentimes can’t relate to because they feature a kind of intense, touchy feely friendship other people adore but I don’t understand.

(Okay, so maybe a little less murder would have been nice for my poor bruised heart.)įirst off the magic. A YA fantasy filled with magic, mayhem, murder, and high stress, high stakes mystery? What more could one ask for.
