Heroes & Harbingers by A.R.K. Horton
4.0
If you enjoy stories set in magic schools and those which draw on a range of mythologies, you need to read this book!
The story's POV switches between Bree - this century's Chosen One, Ms Sirin - a death harbinger, and Mr Finn - completing his community service. We get to see each of them dealing with loss and grief, which is a major theme throughout the book, as they come together to try and survive a deadly plot.
The world building is great, the found family aspect is wonderful, and the threat from those with power is very real. My only complaint is that some things seemed to happen too quickly and I wanted *more*. Thank goodness there are more books in the series to satisfy that desire - I moved onto the second book in the series immediately upon finishing the first!
