Story (4/5): The story starts out pretty typical. Kyra finds out she has fae blood after someone tries to kill her and is sent by her mother and grandmother to Spellwood Academy (a school for part-fae) to keep her safe. Spellwood Academy channels very serious Harry Potter vibes but has more of a YA paranormal feel to it than pure fantasy. Kyra has to navigate the school and choose her House and (on the side) try to figure out who is trying to kill her.
The story was fast-paced and fun. In general I enjoyed it. It’s similar to a lot of other YA magic academy types of books out there. I did enjoy the fantasticalness of Spellwood Academy (very Harry Potterish). Although there is a bit more romance here and more beautiful descriptions than in Harry Potter. The book was very short and, aside from Kyra getting to the school and choosing her house, not a ton happens.
Characters (4/5): I like Kyra as a character and really enjoyed her roommate too. The leading male characters that were introduced: Griffin and Lucien were very brooding and mysterious and I enjoyed them as well. Although we are just introduced to the characters in this book, I think they show a lot of potential to be intriguing.
Setting (4/5): I loved the setting of Spellwood Academy. Even though it was very Hogwartish at times, I still really enjoyed it. The setting is a bit darker than I expected and I can’t wait to delve deeper into it.
Writing Style (4/5): This was very easy to read and engaging. This was also very short, it only took me a couple hours to read. This is more of an intro to the story, however I enjoyed the setting, characters, and mystery enough that I plan on continuing the series. Ellison does a good job with creating interesting characters and also created an amazingly imaginative setting for the story. I love some of the mysteries here but we will have to see how the story progresses since this was such a short book it’s hard to judge where the story is going.
My Summary (4/5): Overall I enjoyed this. I love reading about faeries and this book presents some fun characters, an intriguing mystery, interesting magic, and a magical setting. The book is incredibly short but shows promise. I plan on continuing with the series to see how things pan out in the second novel. I would recommend if you like YA books in an academy setting and enjoy magic and faerie. ( )
