The book has a sharp-tongued, funny main character with a magical talend for destruction. The book depicts how she navigates everyday life in this dangerous school while everyone seems to think she is pure evil.
I liked the mother-daughter relationship and the juxtaposition of the mom healer and the protagonist who was foretold to bring destruction to the world. Sometimes the story was a bit repetitive which I could have done without
I was intrigued by the world the author created and the cliffhanger made me pick up book number 2

I really love Naomi Noviks writing and character building. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the pacing of this book. It felt like the first 75% was slow and being annoyed at the main character not understanding social constructs, then the last 25% was faster but still answered zero questions.
