Customer Reviews

Engaging throughout.

Gailey's writing has always been a treat in the past and their book Magic for Liars is no exception.

More realistic magic school

This book turned out differently than I expected. It was still pretty good and was definitely a more realistic view of a high school of magic than the Harry Potter series was. Ivy was hard to feel for sometimes. She was very bitter towards her sister and she ended up lying a lot while at the school investigating the mystery of Sylvia's death. She pretended to be a different Ivy and I found it irritating, especially as she was getting to like Rahul. This story did not end up like I thought it would. It built up to one thing and then turned around and spit out a different ending. I think it did not need the tiny bit about the "Chosen One", unless the author is planning on continuing the story with other books.
