This is the kind of school I imagine that my parents would have sent sulky teenage me to. A deadly school, constantly testing my pride, sensibility and ability to cope with whatever life throws at me. All while ensuring that I got a solid academic education and knew how to use tools to create the useful things that I need.
🗺️ The world building is pleasantly presented within the school, and despite the unique creation story of this school you won't find yourself digging deep and flicking back to an unreadable map to try and remember who came from where/when or how they got there.
🌶️ There is no spice here. Which considering that we are dealing with teenagers under the age of 18 is perfectly acceptable.
📚 This book is for you if you enjoy a sassy FMC and are ok with evil creatures trying to eat the FMC more often than not.
✈️ An easy read that's perfect for travel. I'd suggest getting the rest of the series before you leave home!
