I'd say that I'm a little disappointed...for a book written in 2023 there where some bits that made me cringe. They mention a mentally challenged child once or twice and in the end you learn that he did it during, what I assume to be, an autistic meltdown? it also really just felt like a poorly transelated, barely edited fanfiction
This book was a solid 3 stars
The drawings in it was a pleasant surprise and I breezed through this book, finishing it in 2 days.
However...the author very clearly wanted certain things to happen which makes some scenes feel rushed. Sometimes the characters would go on rants, talking out loud while they should be thinking (or atleast; it would've been beter in text, not dialogue)
This was a fun little book though, would very much recomend it as a quick read.
Most of this book felt like I was following a class at school. There was so much to learn about the world and its magic system and I much more preferred the scenes where they where away from the school.
Not sure if I'll read the other comming books of this series because I felt like it had an alright ending for me to stop at.
