It is an intensely frustrating book which is addictive but for me personally it was too stressful to be fun to read due to the intensity of the bullying. The premise is really promising but it is let down by some serious cringe, such as the unimaginative teacher names (a fire element teacher called professor pyro, groundbreaking) and bad grammar. However, it is addictive and I am invested in hopefully seeing the Vegas get payback.
