CAWPILECharactersWe get to see the character relationship between Alex and Luna grow and change, Sadly the death of the ship between the two of them. Martin the character we wish would die. Even though we don't see a ton of his character, we can totally relate him to people we know who think they know better or are smarter. He needed to die which he did, so its all good.Have to wonder slightly about whether the Monkey paw is actually evil, or just its nature and it can't fight against it, but it seems to take pleasure in the killingLight mages living up to Alex's estimation so far except for Taliseid. Belthas unabashedly wanting more power.Stupid Enchantress.AtmosphereStill London still felt realistic.WritingSolid writing, but nothing crazily different from the first book.PlotI liked that it felt like there were 2 plots going on a once. The Magic creature draining and the Monkey's Paw, and that they interacted and caused conflicting issues. The betrayals that you see coming and the ones you don't. Stupid MartinInvestmentVery invested, hard to put the book down.LogicThe Magic system is very consistent within world. The actions that people take make sense to their character, especially luna who just wants to be able to be around people.EnjoymentThese books are just so so good.Misc
