I really enjoyed this book. The things I really liked were the magic system and the characters. The characters were great and the gender-bending aspect was delightful and thought-provoking. I would have liked to see a little more of the relationship between the two main characters, but maybe we’ll get that in the next book. I also loved that the book was separated into easily digestible sections. That worked wonderfully well for my “read as much as possible at bedtime before your traitorous eyes close” schedule. The things that could have been a little better were the details. I felt like I could have used more details in a few scenes because they came off as a little rushed and almost like some key element was left out. I think the world and the magic could have been explained/developed a little more and some scenes just abruptly ended without resolving the issue at all. Also, the “mafia” part of the synopsis was probably over-exaggerated as that aspect was pretty lacking. Overall, I did thoroughly enjoy this book.
