Wicked Like a Wildfire

2.5/5 stars
I was on the fence about how to rate this book. I felt like I kept jumping up and down from a two-star rating to a three-star rating. Some sections seemed to go on forever, and I found myself having to skim through them repeatedly. I decided to keep it at a two-star rating.

As mentioned before, I felt like certain parts could be cut out. For how long it was, I expected there to be more clarity with how the magic system worked. While it was a cool concept, the extent of their abilities and how they got them were left up in the air. It essentially leaves us wondering. Even though the plot was predictable at points, I generally enjoyed it. The chaotic/messy ending is what really cemented my two-star rating. I won't go too into detail because I don't want to include a spoiler section.

I considered rounding up, but since I don't see myself continuing this series, I decided to round down. I would recommend this story only if long books with underexplained magic systems, predictable plot points, and messy/chaotic endings don't bother you.
