It is just unoriginal all the way.
This book is a crossover between a cozy mystery without a murder and a typical YA novel except the MC is 23.
Even tho the author put obvious effort into making some of the characters appear more layered it doesn't come across this way. They still seem like a cardboard cutouts but labeled "20% deeper!".
I think a big problem with this novel for me is the endless flavours of this story I've already read over the years. It's just yet another instanciation of the same old clichées.
It's not doing anything particularly good. It doesn't have any interesting and unique twist. There is just nothing to make it stand out from the UF soup.
The plot was so predictable and onedimensional calling it a plot is already generous.
The magic basically only acts as plot device. And it's used a LOT for that purpose. I don't think I want to read a book by this author without the magic to steer everything.
Despite that I never perceived it as particularly annoying. While it's not particularly subtle, it's always low-key enough to not stand out uncompfortably.
It has successfully taken up 7 hours of my time which was what it was supposed to do but it just wasn't interesting enough for me to continue with the second book.… (plus d'informations)
