I was expecting the story to focus on Esk’s time at Unseen University as a student, but it’s all about her journey to get there, and I enjoyed it a lot more for that. The horror elements were also a bit unexpected! 

“They say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

“If you ignore the rules people will, half the time, quietly rewrite them so that they don't apply to you.”

“They both savoured the strange warm glow of being much more ignorant than ordinary people, who were only ignorant of ordinary things.”

I wish it was longer. I love Granny but I wish her growth wasn't so last minute. I definitely ship all the ships. The humor is everywhere and it's great.
