Started off good but quickly lost stars because of the heroines attitude. I like a strong heroine but I don't like one who comes off as a know it all. She hasn't practiced magic since she was 8 but the second she starts again (12 yrs later) she's a master at it - can do stuff that NO OTHER MAGIC USER CAN DO! Add that to the fact that she goes from a protector student to kicking the "Chiefs" butt AND was all high and mighty about it - questioning WHY someone at his skill level would be allowed to Started off good but quickly lost stars because of the heroines attitude. I like a strong heroine but I don't like one who comes off as a know it all. She hasn't practiced magic since she was 8 but the second she starts again (12 yrs later) she's a master at it - can do stuff that NO OTHER MAGIC USER CAN DO! Add that to the fact that she goes from a protector student to kicking the "Chiefs" butt AND was all high and mighty about it - questioning WHY someone at his skill level would be allowed to protect the Kings - and she became highly unlikeable. Even when she got schooled about different things it didn't bring her down a level, I don't even think she apologized. She just went on thinking she was the cat's meow.
As stated in other reviews, the Kings were not distinguishable at all. In fact I don't think the author could even distinguish them sometimes. They would all be in a conversation and the next like would be "and then he yelled"...well, who yelled? There's four guys around you right now and you can't tell me who raised his voice? Am I suppose to know who it was...because I don't... This happened multiple times.
The last thing I'm going to point out - and to some its not an issue but it became bothersome to me the longer it went on...and IT WENT ON THE WHOLE BOOK! The heroines relationship with her best friend was too much for me. It got to a point where I really started to wonder if the best friend was going to be in the harem...its on that level of intimacy. Everything the heroine does is for the best friend. Exposes herself to save the best friend - check. Goes to the castle (which she went on and on and on about NEVER doing) to save the best friend - check. Stays in the castle to protect the best friend - check. Allows the Kings to tell everyone who she is in order to protect the best friend - check. And of course...the book ends with the heroine having to go to the other realm (I honestly can't remember what its called) to save the best friend.
You'd think the best friend was helpless and NOT the second most powerful witch of the school...
Ultimately it wasn't win for me and I won't bother picking up the next book. ...more

Really good read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It had a fun storyline with good character development. A little predictable but fun none the less. Can’t wait til the next one.
