Changeling by Molly Harper
3.0
My Thoughts:
This was a rather delightful book. Sara was so sassy, had humour and at the same time she was vulnerable.
Magicians rose up all over the world and took over. Now "normal" people work as servants for the high and might who rule the world.
Then there is Sara, who suddenly has magical powers. Her employers are scared that the higher ups will blame them and she is embraced into the family as one of them. In comes Cassandra Reed, who is sent to school to learn magic, and manners.
I liked the whole boarding school setup. There is the mean girl clicque, those who try to hide. Dances with the boy academy. It all works really well. Her "aunt" is never far away either as the boarding school is close by. She will get new friends and learna few lessons. Magical and non magical.
I liked Mrs Winter, her former employer. She was so proper, but underneath it all there is someone kind.
Everyone was delightful, and the baddies were wicked and needed a kick in the behind.
A fun YA that has a bit of everything. Friendship, magic, romantic feelings and an interesting world that is about to change.
I do recommend it, to YA fans and to adults.
Narration:
She was perfect for Cassandra at 14, and then she was perfect as Mrs Winter (and now I can hear her voice in my head to sit up straight.)
