I get this book through Netgalley. I requested it because lately I've been reading books related to Halloween, and Discovery definitely fits in that group: Salem and witches. And also because of the cover, I'm hopeless when I see a beautiful cover.The prologue is a punch in the face. In a couple of pages the author has been able to create a powerful story line and in those few pages I also became Team Jason. The plot hooks you from the very beginning, and I was really enjoying the book till Seth appeared. In my mind I've already graded it with a 4/5 because though there were some grammatical mistakes( many times there were words together: likethis),  I was going to pass because maybe it was an edition mistake. But I hated to read Seth dialogues, he speaks in a kind of Irish way and a lot of times I couldn't understand him; and there is an inconstancy in  this because in the end, Seth speaks perfectly proper RP English, which was  a relieve but it didn't follow the previous pattern. If you speak with an accent you had it in the beginning and at the end, you don't lose it in the middle of the book.I enjoyed the book, and the book has a solid base to became a really good witch read with some minor changes. I think Theagan fought very little to bring Jason back. The book is too fast paced, some things are poorly explained. All the war between Electi and Invidia appears in a sudden, I hope this will be explained better in the following books.The secondary characters such Lark, Gran or Celeste are the ones that bring the twists and turns to this story. Discovery is full of unexpected discoveries that the reader will enjoy.I really think Discovery has the fundamental basis of a good book and despite the flaws I have found I would recommend it.
