It's also totally the lite version of those types of romance. It's sweet and it's sort of a slow burn hate-turned-love type of romance, but not quite. I just can't fully get on board with a character who hardens her heart to the charms of adorable animals. She's more of a grudging tolerator eventually evolving toward unadmitted liker. Kyra also loses a few points because she isn't a big animal lover. So those actions turned into a slightly annoying quirk of someone you know and love rather than something that full on annoyed me. Her internal feelings and explanations prevented me from actually disliking her when she did things I didn't think she should. Kyra's first-person narrative voice did help me like her a lot more than I would have had this been written in third person. I don't like it when I start to roll my eyes and yell at the main character because I think they're behaving in unnecessary ways. She's always pushing people away, which is a trait I don't tend to like, especially when the reasons are as thin and unexplained as Kyra's were. All the potions talk added about a million points to the book for the sheer "I wish that were real" factor.īut, Kyra's also prickly, and much as I do like prickly characters, her style of prickly made her a little hard to get close to. She's also an awesome potions master, which is just flat out cool (just try to imagine how much more amazing a sleepover party would be with an actual potions master in attendance!). She's determined, loyal (to some), and prepared to do whatever it takes to do the right thing-even if it's heartbreakingly hard. Kyra is the kind of main character I like, but don't LOVE. Kyra can come to my sleepover, IF she brings her potions kit Spotlight List: My Favorite Fictional Men.
