The Ellyrian Code: The Treaty of Edriendor by B.F. Peterson

Many thanks to Angry Robot for the opportunity to be an ARC reader for The Ellyrian Code.
I was really excited to read this ARC. The premise is super interesting but I was soooooo confused the entire time. I really wish there was more background with the different Houses and the magic system. I kept on thinking I missed something, but then after I reread some parts I realized that nothing was actually explained? I’m really hoping that either the finished published copy had a glossary of some sort or there’s A LOT more explained in book two.
The characters were kind of difficult to really connect to, but I enjoyed Christine’s POV the most. I felt like her character was the most flushed out, but by the end you see why the other POVs were important.
I really enjoyed the school setting, and the high fantasy elements the story had. There was enough adventure, political intrigue, and mystery to keep me reading. Upon release, I would like to reread to see if things click a little more. I am looking forward to the rest of the series to see how things conclude.
