She is incredible at calculating everything and it was incredibly fascinating to see how she operates!Īnd I always love when the first chapter starts off with some kind of action-packed scene – things exploding, people attacking, lots of fighting – and The Alchemists of Loom had all of that! It was super intriguing and it pulls you in and leaves you wanting more!

The book starts off with Arianna being on a mission to break into a building.
