The book was okay. The story was pretty good overall. I just wasn't a fan of the characters and how they acted. The whole thing was a bit too cheesy and silly for my taste but I'm always a fan of people with powers and all that. I'm not a fan of Mia at all. She acted ridiculous and the romance was too unreal. Colt kind of reminded me of a mix between Jace Herondale and Damon from Vampire Diaries but with more silliness. I kind of don't understand why they would let the hunters stay at the castle with the Arcana when the hunters are usually okay with killing them. Like I'm what? I hope Benny Blue ends of having awesome powers because he was the only character I liked. Life changes fast when you find out you're a witch like Mia and Dino did. Now at a castle for the summer they must learn about their abilities and how to control them. They also have to figure out their way in this strange new world and who they can trust and who is out to get them. As they learn more about themselves they also have to get a better understanding of everything around them.Mia is young and a bit niaeve but she trys to looks for the best in people and trusts her instincts to guide her. She cares sometimes it seems to much but her heart is in the right place.Dino it took me awhile to warm up to, but once I began to understand his power I realized why he was having such a hard time. Plus het he is a teenage boy so being surly is a natural part of him.The addtional characters each also brought something to the mix and I enjoyed getting to know them as well. Interesting story about magic, but also about two kids growing up and finding they way.
Finally a YA book with a difference!
