4.5

Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Can’t wait to visit this world again in the next book and see how Ella handles her new Marvel and moves through her new world. Being the “first” conjurer allowed into a marvelous (see what I did there) school that’s actually very prejudice despite the fact they claim to be accepting is hard for anyone, but especially a child. I wanted to fight the teachers and student for how they treated Ella. Trying to make everyone conform is not the great Philips the Marvellers think it is. Ella persevered though and had some amazing friends in her corner (who have secrets of their own). I also really loved the Conjurers aspect and the New Orleans influence.
