4 stars I like the concept of this story and I wanted to give it 4 stars, but it really only deserves 3.5. I’m rounding up. It has some strong characters, while others are two-dimensional and seemingly unimportant, which is unfortunate because I’m sure there will be other books focusing on them. For example, Lee and Alex, as well as Claire, feature prominently, with Theo appearing often enough. However, Guy barely shows up and I can’t even remember the names of the other two sisters. Since all need to find their soul matches, it seems to me that the readers deserve more of an introduction to all of them. The gender-stereotyped roles of the characters bugged me a bit. It seemed as if the boys were always expected to save Penny while the girls were helpless, and other than Penny, actually seemed insignificant. Since the “siblings” had been told for their entire lives that they each had a mission to find their soul match and the warlocks would do everything they could to prevent that, it makes sense to me that they would have been trained to fight. However, it seemed like the girls were unable to do that. Penny was immature, which made sense considering her upbringing, but I kept hoping she would develop some sense and stop trying to run away from her challenges. There were many unanswered questions by the end of the book, but considering this is the start of a new series, that is reasonable. If I want to learn more, I’ll just have to read the next one.
