LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was not expecting it to be this good of a book. WOW. my mind is blown. why was it so good. i love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the whole concept was well thought out and not a single part of the book bored me. the idea and the way the book is written is so smart. it is beautifully done and i am so impressed. i could not believe i loved it so much, i so thought this would be a mid-book. the characters were AMAZING. OMG Jorden, he is soooooo funny. i swear every line he said i was cackling. I love bear ana Alex. they are a perfect trio i love it so much. they are such a great friend group, and they make me laugh so much. anyone that goes the whole book without laughing is a psychopath. i don't know how could do it. the book is just so hilarious. as sone as Jorden spoke i was in love with him. i love the funny characters and Jorden is a perfect definition of funny. Bear is also at a close behind to Jorden. he is also so funny and he is a great character. they make the perfect pair. it's a match made in heaven. Alex is also a perfect main character. she is written magnificently. i love Alex's character growth. she goes through so much and comes out even better and i love it.  the story is so fantasy. the world building is done amazing and i could picture it perfectly. i love books that have classes and are built in a school setting.  It has to be one of my favorite reads when it has a school and Akarnae delivered as i wanted it to.  the ending was so good. i love how the book drew to a conclusion and the plot twist with one of the characters or actually two, that blew my mind, because i was so focused on other things i did not expect the character to be that and i was so shocked and surprised.  but what a way to end a book. i want to read the next book right now and continue the series because that book was perfection. i loved it. i have no critiques for it. Done so good and exactly how i would have wanted. the only minor thing is i was happy with the trio and didn't want anything or anyone added into the small group circle that Bear, Jorden and Alex had but it doesn't really matter so great book. also, i have a very good guess on who the love interest is going to be and i am not happy. i like Alex single or i really want her with Jorden but anyways. it is what it is. absolutely a 5-star read and i highly recommend it.
