well, I definitely enjoyed this book. it was challenging and the characters were amazing...the only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is that, during the 50 percent of the book (a literal 50 percent according to my ebook), the plot didn't move forward at all. nothing happened. all the plot of the book happened in the second half and the first part was literally pointless. furthermore, the flashback part was a little bit boring at the beginning. besides this, it was a really entertaining experience to read this book even though it is a typical mystery novel for young people. I really liked the academy idea and the characters were very loveable. I'm definitely continuing the saga =D
