The Outcast by Taran Matharu

4.0

I picked this book up at a discount store on a whim and I am so happy that I did! I loved it! I enjoyed Arcturus as a MC. Loved Sacharissa and her personality despite being a daemon (animal familiar)! I wish it would have explored more of the education system at Vocans because I felt it left a lot out as to what the kids were able to learn. The curriculum seemed more self-instructed and seeing as to how self-absorbed and seemingly lazy the "upper crust" kids were, it was surprising they could go on to lead military units, etc. Looking forward to reading the cannon series!
