Harry potter meets avatar meets the omega verse, but spicier. Has a lot of fun tropes with a kinda brutal ending. Will definitely read the next one.

Absolutely not. I can understand some animosity between characters. I even welcome it when it is warranted. But this is straight up bullying and non-consensual horrid behavior.
“The Vega Twins need to learn how to perform a simple shield. To encourage them to do so, you are all assigned the task of Coercing them at any given opportunity from here on out.”
This is not for me. It gives me ick. Not for me, nope.

The overall story is captivating and the characters interesting and diverse. However, there are several grammar, spelling and editorial mistakes throughout the book that took away from the magic.
