I can not express how excited I am for book 2. This was my first Novik novel. She did an amazing job building the world around the story. I immediately enjoyed the snarky mc El. She had a, sometimes out of line, don't care attitude. Between the magic and the amount of danger in the school this is not Hogwarts. I loved so much about this book. I wouldn't say it's middle grade it is definitely more for high school age. There is some profanity.

I loved this book. I am so glad it was the first book that I finished this year.
Fantastic characters and character development. Good twists. A uniquely terrifying setting in a school. A perfect amount of angst.
This was *chefs kiss*
Can’t wait for July when the second book in the trilogy(?) comes out

Amazing book! Info-dumpy at the beginning, though.
