a magical school where everything is out to get you. a lot of action and darkness. I really had to push through the first chapter cause there are a lot of new words, some of which aren't explained right away. but I'm glad I did.

having a very pessimistic main character was super different to me and my personality that at first I was unsure. but her sarcasm and back story made it all come together nicely. I loved so many scenes in the last chapter and wish there was more like that - I'm hopeful for book 2.
