I don't know how I felt about ADSOM. 
 With such hype surrounding it, I was expecting a story that blew me away, and it kind of fell short. I'm not saying it was bad; I'm just saying I didn't love it. 
 Personally, the characters fell a little flat for me, and the world-building was meh. I wasn't amazed by the magic system, and what would happen next was a bit obvious. 
 I hate to say it, but I'm disappointed for my first V.E. Schwab book. Everything was underwhelming, but I still liked it. I'll carry on with the series to see if the books get better as the series continues, but I'm not very excited to read it. (Honestly, the ending wrapped up pretty well. Maybe it's like ACOTAR and the next book is phenomenal.)
