This was a really hard one to rate. On one hand, I love these characters, this world, and the Magic feel of it all. However, the plot was reallllyyyyy strung along, and I don't feel like we got any answers. It very much felt like a super long, in-depth prologue to the next book instead of a strong story on its own. Pretty disappointed, but I love The School for Good and Evil world as much as I love Hogwarts, so I'll still read the next one.
