" this book was....ehhh? Compared to the first it was definitely a disappointment. It had taken me over a month to read too, so that alone is a sign it wasnt all that amazing. I was also in the middle of reading the Hunger Games and the Red Pyramid, so I wasnt all that interested in it compared to those other books. But, it was entertaining enough I guess. But the story didnt seem to flow well enough for me, and if I hadnt read it I would've lived, ya know? Overall, it was ok. If I read the next book (I THINK theres gonna be a next book) I might read it. MIGHT. Not really sure. Plus, Laurel (the main character) got even MORE annoying in this book. It didnt help that Miley Cyrus is cast as her character!!! UGH. I wasnt very happy when I heard that. Also, the name was really weird. SPELLS? Seriously? The book really had nothing to do with spells at all. (And it took me a while to convince my mom to let me check it out of the library). "
