A lovely addition to the magical school genre, deeply rooted in it's cultural environment. The only thing I didn't love was the "poor girl in a rich school" trope, which I just feel like is overdone. But even though it's overdone in the genre, it was well done in this book, and didn't take over the other narratives. I hope that future books in this series expound upon how the magic works, because there is clearly lot there!
