I enjoyed this book. At first I only really enjoyed the writing style. I found the whole super achieving person goes to a school with ridiculously rich children uncomfortable- from an this is not aspirational or is it necessary good to have teens read about highly achieving children, who simply need to study hard enough to get exceptional grades and also happen to have ludicrously wealthy parents- but once I shut off my socialist/critical brain I did enjoy the story, characters and writing.
The writing reminded me of classic children’s literature authors like j.m.Barrie.
It wasn’t until the last few chapters that I really felt engaged - the plot started to pick up - so I knew I was going to read the next book.
The characters were fun and like the hints at possible queer relationships in future books.
The hints of magic makes this feel less grounded in reality which helps the earlier mentioned critical brain.
Would recommend if you want an easy, story with intrigue, diverse characters and a teen setting.
