Mmmmm. I don’t know how I feel about this book. I rated is kinda high because the writing is really good and the story is fascinating. I was confused on how Coriolanus becomes the villain we see in the main trilogy. Let’s just say things make more sense now, but I also still have so many questions. The Epilogue made me so mad! Not for any reason other than the main character’s actions. The people around him deserved better. I really liked the classroom setting though. The academy was pretty cool. I wouldn’t read this is you have a fear of snakes…
