Reviews for "Tales of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the Institute of Akko"
1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really excited to read "The Witchcraft Institute of Akko" as I love books about magic and witches. However, this book left me disappointed. The plot felt extremely predictable and lacked any originality. The characters were flat and underdeveloped, making it hard to connect with them. Additionally, the pacing was slow, and it took too long for the story to gain momentum. Overall, I found "The Witchcraft Institute of Akko" to be a boring and forgettable read.
2. James - 3 stars - While "The Witchcraft Institute of Akko" had an interesting premise, I found the execution to be lacking. The world-building and magical elements were intriguing, but the writing style felt disjointed and confusing at times. It was difficult to follow the story, and the plot twists were not well executed. The book also introduced several minor characters who were never fully explored or given a proper conclusion. Overall, I felt that "The Witchcraft Institute of Akko" had potential, but it fell short in its delivery.

The characters were stereotypes and lacked depth, making it hard to care about their fates. The dialogue was also unrealistic and at times cringeworthy. The romance aspect of the story felt forced and lacked chemistry. Sadly, "The Witchcraft Institute of Akko" did not live up to the hype for me.
