The Familiar

3.5 ⭐️ rounded up! I really wanted to love this book. It had all the elements to be a new favorite: standalone; set in Madrid (which is the city where I live), grey characters, a competition and magic.

But somehow it missed the mark for me! The bad one was very bad, the grey character was so sweet it didn't really wasn't grey for long and overall I didn't connect with the main character Luzia!
It is enjoyable and will for sure delight and be the favorite of a lot of readers! But for me felt more similar to the Shadow & Bone kind of world than Six of Crows!
