Review: Good Premise, Slow Going
Rating: 3 out of 5

The concept is a good one, the story is dragging in a few places, especially at the start.  The "evil" sister is a bit overboard and obnoxious - not in a fun way.  Like the magical bits, incorporation of the tarot and the familiars, but the whole is not cohesive enough and doesn't flow.  The characters are not really that well fleshed out; you don't really feel that you have fallen into their story like a good novel should.  Wish I would have liked it more; perhaps the second book will be better?
