Talented children at a boarding school in 1800's Scotland? Uh yeah, I'm in.

While this book is no joke at a whopping 672 pages, I still enjoyed it. We have a diverse cast with upwards of 6 PoVs throughout the book, which at times could feel overwhelming. However we need it to truly understand the plot and character motivations. The lines of good and evil are blurred and we're often flitting from one chain of events to the next. Even so, it's an enjoyable romp that manages to merge historical fiction and fantasy into something entirely new.

(Oh and it's a trilogy that doesn't end on a massive cliffhanger, so that's HUGE)
