vinora's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional tense slow-paced

2.75

Interesting concept, lots of references to another popular school for adolescents with supernatural abilities, but existing in its own capacity.

I enjoyed the concept of this book but the constant bullying made it difficult to get through.

I was told that this series gets better as you move through it and I look forward to more positive development.

This gave me Wattpad vibes, has a nostalgic feel. It’s very trashy, writing could be better, however the plot is just not there lmao. 

The bullying is just insane though, and no one bats an eye. 

The tokenism of Diego is too much as well… why is the Spanglish so terrible.
