A good magic school, and really unique creature mythos that I enjoyed. The first bit is definitely a hard transition into first person, but as you ease into El’s narrative it’s a lot easier to immerse yourself in. A cute read but nothing to really grasp my imagination. I’m intrigued to read the sequel, but not sure how much milage the idea has for a whole series.
