Seems like the Twist was a little sudden/separate from the "reality" of the world. I say this because I think it would have made sense for the twist to be echoed in the world outside of Niveus Private Academy.
Blazed through this in one sitting, it's an incredible ride. You start putting the pieces together as the Main Characters do. Told from alternating perspective of two protagonists. Sometimes the high school politics felt unrealistic and over-the-top to me, but then again my high school experience was very much like that of Devon Richards prior to this book's happenings.
