Kocak, seru, menghibur banget. Mungkin buku yang berhasil bikin orang nangis tuh overrated. Buku ini berhasil bikin aku ngikik selama membacanya.

Yet another fanciful tale of kids facing challenges that all kids face, one way or another, with an inconvenient invasion of magic into a world where no magic is supposed to be.

I like the ensemble aspect of this one, and the mystery, but I still don’t like Chrestomanci very much. Maybe it’s a side effect of reading them in publication order.

Tense, engaging, like a mystery novel! I couldn't put it down. Jones excellently portrays diverse personalities and motivations among the narrating characters with seamless transitions between them. I love how much they all learn and are humbled or inspired, as each one needs it, throughout the story.
Who really is the witch? With each step closer to finding the answer, danger draws nearer. And even the most powerful enchanter in the world(s) can't solve all their problems for them. The class of 6B has to figure it out for themselves - if they can let go of their pride, fear, and personal conflicts long enough to use their forbidden abilities to the fullest.
