1. Jessica - ★☆☆☆☆
I was extremely disappointed with "Academy of Magical Creatures". The storyline felt predictable and unoriginal, with a flawed protagonist who lacked depth. The world-building was lacking, and I found it hard to immerse myself in the magical realm the author attempted to create. The writing style was also subpar, with awkward phrasing and repetitive descriptions. Overall, I found this book to be a major letdown and would not recommend it to anyone seeking a captivating and well-crafted fantasy novel.
2. David - ★★☆☆☆
I had high hopes for "Academy of Magical Creatures" but ultimately found it to be a mediocre read. The characters lacked development, and their interactions felt forced and unrealistic. The pacing was inconsistent, with slow-moving sections that made it difficult to stay engaged. Additionally, the plot twists were predictable, and the climax was underwhelming. While the concept of a magical academy intrigued me, the execution in this book fell short of my expectations.
3. Sarah - ★★☆☆☆
"Academy of Magical Creatures" failed to capture my attention from the start. The protagonist's motivations were unclear, and I struggled to connect with their journey. The dialogue felt stilted and unnatural, making it difficult to believe in the relationships between the characters. The magic system was poorly explained, and I found myself confused about its limitations and rules. Overall, this book lacked the depth and enchantment I was hoping for, and I would not recommend it to fellow fantasy enthusiasts.
