4/5 STARS I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. The Relic Spell was a really fun, light read. The front cover drew me in straight away in all honesty. I know we’re told not to judge books by their covers and sometimes doing so leads to immense dissatisfaction about the story once you sink your teeth into it, but this time it didn’t lead me wrong. The world building was intriguing and interesting, I got shadowhunter-y vibes from the fighting every now and again, and from the relationship between Orion and Max, but in a good way since I love that show and the dynamics in it. I loved the magic system and the use of mystery that saturated past events surrounding Orion’s father and the war that occurred. For me the best part was the friendships and relationships between the characters that grew as the book progressed. I loved Orion and I felt quite a strong sense of kinship with him on certain unreciprocated feelings. I don’t want to spoil anything so I’m being careful of how I phrase this but, while the plot was interesting enough to hold my attention, it was definitely the interactions between the characters that kept me going. Overall I would definitely recommend this one. A nice diverse cast of interesting and different characters rounds out the well crafted relationships and solid plot! Great for fans of urban fantasy YA.
