I could not tell you a single thing that happened in this.

If you took out all of Galadriel's ramblings, lore/infodumping, and internal monologues, the book would be like 70 pages.

Why was this only 13 chapters? It dragged on so much because of it.

Takes 2/3rds of the book to get to any real story or action. Too much detail-building. Maps of the school and cross-sections are at the end of the book. Should've been at the beginning for better understanding of the layout. Strong female protagonist.
