Hollow Fields, Vol. 1 by Madeleine Rosca
3.0

Not too bad! The idea of a school for (up and coming) mad scientists and the classes they take is interesting. For example, the school prides itself on some cross-species transplantations/Frankenstein experiments and killer robots.

I found the MC too stupidly naive, and it's not in an endearing way. How many times does it take for her to learn this gothic, eldritch school is immune to her tears and whining!?! Still, she's nine, so I get it.

I thought the ending was nice and subverted a few things.

SN: The artwork on the cover and the artwork inside is drastically different
