I love this book. El is a delightful and funny with the driest wit. The school and magic are dark, whimsical, quirky, and murderous in a truly enchanting combination. And the romance is adorable. I love recommending this book to fans of Harry Potter because unlike many, many other books that have been hyped as "Harry Potter! But DARK," this one actually lives up to the description because while it is dark (and skillfully deals with the dark side of capitalism without making a big deal about it), it is ultimately a book that is full of heart and hope. Go read it!
