A Deadly Education

This one wasn't my cup of tea. It felt...rambling. There isn't much plot or character development, just a lot of abstract world-building. The writing style was sharp and witty, which I appreciated, but I just couldn't get into the story. I'm not into high fantasy, so this one was a gamble anyway.
