If this hadn't happened. If this hadn't happened. For an entire chapter! Way too twee. I've heard that it gets better about chapter 15 tho, so I may try again in the future, because I loved 9th House and Hellbent SO much. I wanted to love this book but it reminded me so much of The Hunger Games, I ended up feeling like it lacked originality and missed many opportunities. I liked the story: girls and one boy compete in a magical competition to become the king of Spain’s magician, at a time when the Inquisition was still quite a threat to witches. The Familiar, as in the title, is the main character’s “coach” through the games. I was sad the Inquisition played such a minor role in the book. I’ve read books about the inquisition in Spain and its Jews. It’s a sad history that is worth reminding the world about now. So it’s an entertaining read but if I gave a title to my review it would be: Missed Opportunities. I enjoyed this but gave it only 3.5 stars because I didn't understand so much of it. I gave both books in her Alex Stern series 4 stars even though there were parts I didn't understand either. However, by the end of those books everything became clear. At the end of The Familiar I was still wondering what happened. It's about a scullery maid in 16th century Spain, the daughter of conversos, who is able to work small magic using Hebrew songs. Of course, big magic and power struggles ensue. I'm sure there are people who wouldn't find it as confusing as I, and they will like it more.
Interesting for a time then seem to lag. Second half of the book more interesting. overall not to bad!
