I like the concept of a spellchecker for magic. Don't think I've read about it before so it felt new. The girl Lucy made me think of Wednesday in The Addams Family for some reason. Maybe because she was described as goth and had a bit of her attitude. I also like the older and retired witches in the Society and would have liked to see more interaction between them and Lucy. The magic of the book is not exaggerated. A spell can be made in many ways so all the protection spells in the story works really well.

According to the description, this is a book that would really appeal to me. It did so to some extent. Unfortunately, it's written in first person, which I don't really get along with. I don't like being in a single person's head this way. There´s too much details about feelings and thoughts. I found all of this in Forever the Victim, and then some. I found it excessively detailed here and there. In addition, the formatting of the ebook was quite poor, but it became a habit to see the errors as they recurred in the same places. The fact that the book is aimed at the reading age 13-18 probably does its too, I'm 54, so I´m not the target audience here. Even so, Forever the Victim is well worth reading.

Take all of that and toss in some secretive superwizards, an angry god, and a large, previously unknown community of magical weirdos. This is not a good month to be the Spellchecker.

This was not what I expected, but in a good way. I really enjoyed it.
