Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This book has a lot of dread in it as the students prepare for their exams and will fight for their lives, but there is also a thread of hope that runs through the book, and lets the reader and the characters dare to think that this time it might be d... Read More

Together, they find themselves embroiled in school mysteries and undertaking a perilous mission to save lives. They have to go everywhere in groups and strategize where they'll sit to make sure they won't be attacked. Poisonous thingies hide in the ri... Read More

The main girl is rude but in a refreshing way. She sometimes walks the line of being dark and broody because that's who she's supposed to be. She also has a sarcastic acerbic wit, and that voice sets the predominate tone of the book.

Although the odds of living to graduation are slim, chances of survival on the outside are almost nonexistent. Lessons arrive magically on papers on your desk.

Cons

The body count is as high as an 80s era arnold schwarzenegger movie but with zero emotional impact. The worldbuilding, while overly done, is also so confusing. The info-dumping is also a huge reason as to why i stopped reading.

The heroine is so desensitized to violence and death that she will not stop to try to help a fallen comrade. There's so much perceived snarky commentary by the main character that it actually detracts from the pacing/coherence of the book.

Quality

Cool world building great tension with the main characters els abilities and up bringing to destroy evi and not dive into it herself

The world building and magic system is so cool and smart and unique and i really enjoyed it

There is a lot of details a lot of rules and a lot of badass creatures that make for some pretty deadly situations

No dents cuts scratches or markings of any kind

Price

I had no expectations for this book and was baited into reading it by bookbub as a discount

Its like harry potter except magic comes with a cost and everyone mostly dies

Shipping

I ordered it and didnt want fast shipping but i had it in about 3 days

Grades arrive in the same way lesson assignments do

Packaging/appearance

Second because the entire story is so action packed the climax was a non event

Competitiveness

Most notably that orion lake saves other students lives so much that its upset the balance and the bad guys are hungry now so s... Read More

I do think the comparisons to harry potter are not at all accurate
