Nightworld Academy: Term One by LJ Swallow
4.0
Decent
Overall, this was a decent Academy read and a good start to an intriguing series. Mauve is an interesting character with strong opinions and a clear cut way of looking at things, something that may hinder her in the world she has suddenly found.
Pros:
- World building is on point.
- The Academy stands out among other academy books.
- The other characters bring life to the narrative.
Cons:
- Mauve is a bit TOO clear cut. One part seems to be intended to show her morality and staunch belief in right and wrong; instead, it showcases her nativity and ignorance, not to mention the stark danger of her immaturity. This happens at least twice.
