The romance aspect felt forced and unrealistic, and I found it hard to connect with any of the characters. The writing style was also lackluster, with predictable dialogue and uninspired descriptions. Overall, I struggled to finish this book and wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. Mary - 1 star - The Magic Circle was a total letdown for me. The story lacked depth and the pacing was all over the place. The supposed "mystery" elements were poorly executed and didn't hold my interest at all. The characters were forgettable, and their relationships felt forced and unnatural. Additionally, I found the writing to be dry and unengaging. I kept hoping the story would improve, but it never did. I regret wasting my time on this book.
