Sincerity, sarcasm, petty squabbling, working together, love & hate - I fine blend of uplifting epic struggle heavily seasoned with mundane calamity.

This book is a piece of fluff that would be better off if it embraced the young adult genre. It’s well-written in that it flows well, has good word choice, and is imaginative, with only a few out of place words that would benefit from more proofreading. However, the story and characters are fairly flat, since the author doesn’t really take the time to develop feeling or depth, and there’s at least one plot hole. I also never buy into the “love in 2 weeks” narrative. The story seems to pass over events as they happen until they become relevant again, which results in Lexi taking far too long to pick things up given the predictable plot. Lexi seems like a sympathetic character at first, but it doesn’t take long to realize she’s simply an extremely privileged, self-centered, snarky brat. When she makes mistakes, there aren’t any real consequences. The one time something’s actually at stake, the problem is quickly resolved as Athena simply gives her the solution. When she says she’ll apologize to Flix and Terra, she never does. She never demonstrates any real character development.

Wonderfully written - fun and energetic!

Such a welcome reprieve from all the negative reading out there! Funny, wonderful and couldn’t wait to see what happens next. A complete story and great characters. I would recommend this book even, especially, to those drawn to more conventional mysteries. A refreshing and entertaining book!

Cleverly written, combining whimsy and romance.

It’s a great read with a good story attached to a new plot! Love it!
