Helene and Harper should have been the main characters and I will hear no arguments to the contrary. Laia and Elias bore me most of the time. I enjoyed the plot twist on chapter 39. I think I have pinpointed what doesn't agree with me as far as this series is concerned and it's the pacing. I feel that everything is happening too fast and I fail to care about every single plot point since it will be resolved in less than 50 pages. I do find the magic interesting if not vague. Helene's chapters were the sole reason I got through this book.
