The Paper Magician

This book started out strong. The magic system is cool, and I feel like it had good potential. That being said, I got bored once Ceony goes to retrieve Emery???s heart. Witnessing his happiest memories, hopes, worst moments, and doubts was a cool way to explore Thane???s character but it felt like a shift away from the stuff that made me want to read the book in the first place. 
Ceony was an okay character. I kept forgetting that Ceony was 19 because she acted liked a young teen. It would have been a four with all that but then the romance thing started. She, a nineteen-year-old, likes Thane (her teacher who is in his thirties) and while she doesn???t actively encourage, Ceony doesn???t do anything  to stop. Thane does not initiate encounters or reciprocate the feelings in this book. At the end of the book, it???s implied that they???ll get together and have kids.
I???m not sure I want to read to the other ones due to this.
