5 Deadly Stars!
This is one of my favourite books of the year, it's just incredible!
The premise for this was absolutely excellent, a magic school where everything is constantly trying to eat you. It's like a malevolent Hogwarts and I love it.
The world building was top notch, I really felt like I was there and a part of the school, it was so vivid.
I loved El so much, she's just a fantastic character.
This was such a wild ride and I can't wait for book 2!

Loved the concept, hated the characters.
Edit: ended up giving it another chance. The concept is really good, loved the world building but characters are underdeveloped.
