The book has a sharp-tongued, funny main character with a magical talend for destruction. The book depicts how she navigates everyday life in this dangerous school while everyone seems to think she is pure evil.
I liked the mother-daughter relationship and the juxtaposition of the mom healer and the protagonist who was foretold to bring destruction to the world. Sometimes the story was a bit repetitive which I could have done without
I was intrigued by the world the author created and the cliffhanger made me pick up book number 2
