Audiobook. Strange, but always held my attention. Even though the bones sound cookie cutter - magic school and mysterious goings-on - it feels totally original. Eager for translations of 2 and 3.

I was hooked at the beginning and then the rest felt like a slog. I didn’t like any of the characters and just didn’t vibe with this at all.
