Review 😁🥰

5 stars

Ok. Devoured this one the moment I put my hands on it. So much happening. Let me focus on why this is one of my favorite series. Super cast of characters on both teams. It's like having X-Men, witches, factions, houses, dark/light side... but feeling that there is no safe ground (class, academy) because they fight in the real world and people die. The other side has awesome characters too.

Fiora may be the main character, but it doesn't feel like it all depends on her, like a chosen one. She works well as a team, in the community, together.

Mel's story is heartbreaking, and I would have been as devastated and hurt as her. So much action, very rich in dialogue with personality and humor. There are no pure villains or pure heroes. They are all humans, and it's their choices that make their path wicked or not. I loved that Fiora has a great conversation with Quinn and shakes her out of depression. Rowan is hilarious, and other characters are fun too.

This series has a lot of great moments, quotes, values, and lessons that are appropriate to our contemporary times: working together towards a better future, staying away from retaliation and revenge, fighting back power wanting to exploit and hurt minorities.

It's exciting, and I recommend it as an audiobook too. I ended up getting a copy of Volume 1 and will get this one as well. When I need a boost of inspiration, motivation, will to fight back, or to find my voice again, I'll return to this world/friends.
