What can be said about Naomi Novik? One of my favorite authors. Thoroughly enjoy this series and the main character is one of my favorites yet.

This is the kind of school I imagine that my parents would have sent sulky teenage me to. A deadly school, constantly testing my pride, sensibility and ability to cope with whatever life throws at me. All while ensuring that I got a solid academic education and knew how to use tools to create the useful things that I need.
🗺️ The world building is pleasantly presented within the school, and despite the unique creation story of this school you won't find yourself digging deep and flicking back to an unreadable map to try and remember who came from where/when or how they got there.
🌶️ There is no spice here. Which considering that we are dealing with teenagers under the age of 18 is perfectly acceptable.
📚 This book is for you if you enjoy a sassy FMC and are ok with evil creatures trying to eat the FMC more often than not.
✈️ An easy read that's perfect for travel. I'd suggest getting the rest of the series before you leave home!

3,5 ⭐ el final se puso bueno y me dejó tremendas ganas de agarrar el siguiente pero no quita que gran parte del libro me pareció re denso.

Not what I expected in the best of ways. Can’t believe I sat on this for years. Setting and characters were awesome! Story was super action packed with loads of world building and explanations for the magic system. I even liked the info dumps. It all just felt unique to me. Loved it!
