Eh, this was just ok. The romance subplot had a lot of page time, putting this in the fantasy romance for me. If it wasn't so poorly done and juvenile I wouldn't have minded. Story is pretty pedestrian.

There are some moments of action, but we spend most of the time, about 60%, following a teacher around a magical school, seeing a lot of her day to day, and seeing her interact with her love interests.

The last 60-70% of the book speeds up, but enough enough to save it for me. For being adult, it's written very YA.
