I was really disappointed with "Upside dwn magic book 8". The plot felt like a rehash of previous books in the series and there was no character development or growth. The writing was also weak, with awkward dialogue and repetitive descriptions. Overall, it felt like a rushed and uninspired addition to the series.

As a fan of the previous books in the series, I was let down by "Upside dwn magic book 8". The pacing felt off and the story dragged on, making it hard to stay engaged. Additionally, the new characters introduced in this book were one-dimensional and lacked depth. I was hoping for more from this installment, but it fell flat for me.

I have been following the "Upside dwn magic" series since the beginning, but book 8 was a letdown for me. The plot felt disjointed and confusing, with too many subplots that were not fully developed. The writing style also seemed rushed, lacking the usual charm and wit of the previous books. Overall, I found this installment to be disappointing and not up to par with the rest of the series.
