The Awakening by Susanne Valenti, Caroline Peckham
3.0

Audiobook - this book sounded like it would be fun. Twins sent to a magical school - and are the secret heirs to the throne. Of course, the temporary replacements hate them. Harry Potter wizard school random points to the 4 houses (elements). The teachers all have names that say exactly what they teach. But, then, each person also gets another grouping that says where their magic comes from - and the girls get replenished (magically) but don't know or understand how. It's kinda entertaining, but also has a lot of dubious tropes (and lacks consent in a lot of ways). Probably done with the series after the first.
