Book Review: Dark Arts and a Daiquiri (The Guild Codex: Spellbound #2)












Overall: 3/5

Plots and Themes: 3/5

Characters: 3/5

Writing Style: 2/5

Attention Grabbing: 3/5

In the second installment of the Spellbound series, Tori finds herself facing down with a suspected supernatural kidnapper. This is personal for her, which is why she doesn't really blink when the little bait mission goes from routine to including her own personal kidnapping.

I had similar feelings for this one as I did the last, nothing has wowed me yet but I like the characters. It's hard to balance such an incredible fantasy world with a protagonist who doesn't have any magic because you really have to be careful with their reactions to all this stuff that they never would've heard about before. I think Tori is a fearless individual, but it also takes away the significance of the danger she phases and makes it seem a bit boring.

But I think it could get better, there's a lot of potential for growth and it's a really interesting universe that Annette Marie has created.
