I wish that the two girls' voices were more different from each other, and more like how they describe themselves: that we could <b>see</b> Cora's trouble with metaphors, and Quinn's trouble with linear narrative. But that is an adult criticism, and this is a middle-grade book.
As a kid, I would have been disappointed that after all that setup, there was no actual magic. This is definitely a "Friendship was the real magic all along!" book.
