Arcana Academy by Elise Kova
3.0
adventurous mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Kind of a rough start — the worldbuilding and characterization left a lot to be desired. Part of the problem I felt was that there was too much going on. You had heists, trials, classes, etc., and the plot just got diluted. That being said, the magic system is really intriguing and I do see potential here, so I'm willing to give book two a try, especially since I've enjoyed some of Elise Kova's other work.
