Another brief review:

4.5 stars rounded up

I loved the characters and the magic system especially.

The pacing seemed to fluctuate at times, but it wasn't a big deal. I read this book fairly fast.

There are so many bits I'd like to point out specifically, but I'm not one to give away spoilers.

If you like interesting elemental magic systems, a smattering of romance, books, and librarians then this book might be the book for you!

The ending sets up book 2 perfectly which I will read without question.
