I preordered this book months ago and was so excited when I heard the little *ding* and saw my book downloaded。 I’m an F。T Lukens groupie— every book they write feels like a warm hug。 Though this one was not my favorite， the characters are impossible to dislike and I’m a sucker for a found family。 3。5 stars。 F。T if you see this I’m begging for an In Deeper Waters sequel。

I enjoyed this book and I thought it was really sweet but it definitely was on the young side of YA if not even middle grade。 Which isn’t a bad thing but I really don’t feel like this book was for me。 I really liked Sun and found Rook and their romance very sweet and accurate to being a young teenager。 Also I feel like all the representation was all really natural and well done， which is really refreshing。 Honestly my biggest issue with this book is that it feels like the plot doesn’t start unti I enjoyed this book and I thought it was really sweet but it definitely was on the young side of YA if not even middle grade。 Which isn’t a bad thing but I really don’t feel like this book was for me。 I really liked Sun and found Rook and their romance very sweet and accurate to being a young teenager。 Also I feel like all the representation was all really natural and well done， which is really refreshing。 Honestly my biggest issue with this book is that it feels like the plot doesn’t start until halfway through。 The synopsis reveals that Antonia gets captured so you expect that to happen way earlier in the book so I was very surprised it doesn’t happen until over 50% through。 Overall I think this book would be a fun read for a young teen， especially one who identifies with the characters。 。。。more

First， I love FT Lukens。 Their books are what I wish I had as a teenager。 I wish I had something like this that I could see myself in and love reading。 So as an adult， I love finding myself all over again in their works。They’ve said this book is most like them， and you can tell from the tone and voice that it truly does feel like FT telling you this story。I loved this book and everyone in it！ I would love for this to be the beginning of a series， but built on with new people。 Rook， Sun， Antonia， First， I love FT Lukens。 Their books are what I wish I had as a teenager。 I wish I had something like this that I could see myself in and love reading。 So as an adult， I love finding myself all over again in their works。They’ve said this book is most like them， and you can tell from the tone and voice that it truly does feel like FT telling you this story。I loved this book and everyone in it！ I would love for this to be the beginning of a series， but built on with new people。 Rook， Sun， Antonia， and Fable can visit because we love them， but I need more of this world！！ 。。。more

This was my most anticipated book of 2023 and it did not disappoint at all。 I already loved all of F。T Lukens’ other books so when I saw they were publishing a new one this year I immediately preordered。 The story is engaging from the first page to the last。 I read it in one day， which has been unusual for me lately。 I was just captivated by the characters and the plot was incredibly intriguing。 Also the romance is just slow-burn enough that it isn’t frustrating。 Overall so so great。

F。T。 Lukens just keeps getting better。 This book was so sweet。 I don't reread many books but I will go back to this one when I need a cozy hug。 The characters are strong and the world is well-fleshed out。 The romance part is light and has a fairly realistic progression， which is hard to find especially in YA。 If you like Lukens' other books you'll also love this one and their writing style has gotten even stronger。 I will be recommending this to everyone！ F。T。 Lukens just keeps getting better。 This book was so sweet。 I don't reread many books but I will go back to this one when I need a cozy hug。 The characters are strong and the world is well-fleshed out。 The romance part is light and has a fairly realistic progression， which is hard to find especially in YA。 If you like Lukens' other books you'll also love this one and their writing style has gotten even stronger。 I will be recommending this to everyone！ 。。。more

Magic had been excised from my life when a nameless government sorcerer had pressed their finger into the center of my palm and deemed me not magical and thus not allowed to stay in the home I knew or the community I loved。 Unable to see the ley lines， they said。 Unable to learn how to cast。 Unable to access magic。 Banished to the outside looking in with the only entrance being vast sums of money， which I didn’t have。I had hoped that having the most powerful sorcerer in the city—the world if Magic had been excised from my life when a nameless government sorcerer had pressed their finger into the center of my palm and deemed me not magical and thus not allowed to stay in the home I knew or the community I loved。 Unable to see the ley lines， they said。 Unable to learn how to cast。 Unable to access magic。 Banished to the outside looking in with the only entrance being vast sums of money， which I didn’t have。I had hoped that having the most powerful sorcerer in the city—the world if Antonia was to be believed—read my palm， she might see a spark that someone else had missed， that there was fledgling potential within me that she could nurture。 She hadn’t。 The confirmation hurt worse than I thought it could。 Edison Rook necesita volver a pertenecer a la comunidad mágica tras un año de destierro por "no ser mágico"， su brillante plan es hacerse aprendiz de una hechicera poderosa， pero Antonia Hex no está interesada en convertirlo en su aprendiz， pero sí que puede contestar teléfonos， prepararle café e intentar que no destruya alguno de los aparatos electrónicos a su alrededor。 Lo que Rook （sobrenombre que le pone Antonia） quiere por encima de todo， es poner a prueba su detector de líneas ley。。。 y volver a ver al lindo aprendiz de uno de los rivales de Antonia。 Lo que no espera es que su detector de líneas ley traiga problemas para los cuatro。Después de leer sus dos libros anteriores， F。T。 Lukens ya es para mí garantía de una historia fascinante y personajes entrañables。 Y esta vez no es la excepción。 En un universo donde los magos están regulados por un comité que les cobra tarifas extraordinarias por un certificado para ejercer， donde se les vigila a través de espejos mágicos y cualquiera que se salga de las normas establecidas es desprovisto de la capacidad de contactar la magia de las líneas ley， Rook es una anomalía。 Creció en una comunidad mágica criado por su abuela， una hechicera de pociones， sin poseer una pizca de magia， y después de ser desterrado tras la muerte de su abuela， lo único que quiere es volver a formar parte y nadie le va a negar la entrada， aunque tenga que recurrir a una conocida quebrantadora de leyes para conseguir su objetivo。 En Antonia encuentra no solo una jefa mandona， también una persona dispuesta a brindarle un lugar al que pertenecer， y cuando empieza a llevarlo como observador en sus casos （en el call center de embrujos XD） parece que los deseos más profundos de Rook se están cumpliendo。。。 hasta que el comité interviene。 Y entonces empieza una huida frenética para no ser capturado， junto con Sun， que es la primera persona en su familia en tener poder suficiente para ser aprendiz de un mago， y no está dispuesto a arriesgar eso por su amistad con Rook， pero el comité no le deja opción。Me encantó la forma en que la mitad de la historia está enfocada en que conozcamos cómo funciona este universo mágico y a nuestros protagonistas， y la otra mitad avanza a paso acelerado con una persecución y unas cuantas revelaciones sobre lo que está mal con el sistema mágico de este mundo。 Y en todo momento está presente la importancia de la lucha de Rook por volver a la comunidad que considera su hogar， y la de Sun por aprender a no seguir las reglas a ciegas。 La amistad entre ambos es graciosa por la dinámica de optimista/extrovertido VS introvertido， que luego pasa a algo más。 Mi personaje favorito es Antonia Hex， la hechicera más poderosa， que tiene su pasado oscuro， pero ha estado portándose bien。。。 hasta que le tocan a su aprendiz。 Me gustaría leer un libro sobre su primera aprendiz。。。 aunque ya sabemos que eso sería una tragedia。En general， una historia linda， llena de magia y con final feliz， todo lo indispensable para dejarte una sonrisa y el corazón calentito。 Don’t you remember the singing mice？ I saw the magic in the walls， pulling from the ley line。 I saw the weak and dead lines in that neighborhood with the rich lady and the pig-nose kid。” Sun deflated and gestured toward me。 “And I see it in you。” They stepped forward， grabbed my hand， and pushed their finger into my palm。 “I see it。 It’s small， underdeveloped， but it’s there。 You can’t see the lines， but that doesn’t mean you’re not magic。 It doesn’t mean that you don’t belong。 You’ve always belonged。” ¿Qué Disfruté？Una vez más， me encanta el equilibrio que tiene la historia。 Conocemos a los personajes lo suficiente para que nos importen de verdad， nos explican el universo lo suficiente para que lo entendamos sin necesidad de contar sus orígenes， la trama es emocionante， llena de sentimientos， romance y tiene su ración de acción。¿Qué Prefiero Olvidar？Me hubiera gustado ver más de los cambios que se instauren en el futuro para eliminar la rigidez del sistema mágico。 Sometimes a family was a mischievous magical boss， her magical rival turned friend， a magical girl who used to be a babysitter and now was like an older sister， and the person you didn’t understand in the beginning but liked so much now。 And sometimes it was arguments and sometimes it was hugs and sometimes it was banding together to fight a morally corrupt government body and sometimes it was just existing in the same space together as friends。 But whatever this family was right now， whatever it was going to be， and however it would turn out， it was mine。And I knew that I belonged。 。。。more

Another excellent book from F。T。 Lukens！ The world is interesting， the characters are entertaining， and the plot wasn’t predictable （for me at least）。 I love all the small moments （not just acts of defiance） that Lukens includes in their book that make the romances really sweet。 If you’ve loved the others， this one won’t disappoint。

Almost a 5 star for me！ I found this story to be medium-fast paced and the characters to be quite enjoyable。 However， I do think it was a little slow at the get go。 It seemed to pick up at roughly 30% for me。 I feel like this is the perfect summer read。 I cant wait to read more from this author。
