If animal deaths are a big trigger for you, then this is definitely not the book for you. A lot of people and critters die, and it kind of feels unnecessary at times. But the overall plot is interesting enough to me that I'll read the second book.  Also, this is one of those books where I just over-write the author and the 14yo female protagonist in what appears to be magic highschool is actually a 24yo in magic college. I don't think a lot of the themes here are for 14yos so I'm not going to envision a 14yo (also I'm now a 34 yo and I desperately want books with older protagonists!)
