This was a fun story and an interesting new world. It has its flaws, pacing being one. The characters and their relationships are what shine here. Lots of quirk and sass plus a good amount heart. Plus some truly funny moments and a hilarious side character named Wudge.

A smash for a debut novel, especially in a genre as rife with bad cliche as urban fantasy.

Interesting concept.
I wish there was more information about the magic system and school.
The main character was just boring though.

از اون کتابایی بود که می‌شد بهتر باشه اما با تمام کم و کاستیاش دوستش داشتم.
ایده‌ی جالبی داشت و به عنوان اولین کار نویسنده خوب بود.
سراغ جلد بعدی می‌رم؟ قطعا!
به زودی؟ احتمالا!
طبیعیه که از کل شخصیتا یه موجود عجیب غریب رو بیشتر از همه دوست داشته باشم؟
