I've had this one on my shelf for quite a long time and just got a whim to pull it down and read it. I had a feeling I would like it but ended up really adoring it.
The story is about a school for witches and wizards. Yeah, you might think you've heard of that before but this one is different. This school there is no teachers and you spend your days not only learning but trying not to be killed by the creatures that lurk in the shadows. Not all students survive to graduate. I really like this dark and twisted turn.
The characters are awesome. There was some of the more minor characters that I got confused with and mixed them up a few times. As for our main character, El, she was a gem. Full of gloominess, sarcasm and wit, she was someone I could see befriending. Then the other main character, Orion, who was quite the opposite. It was fun watching these two interact. Great banter between them.
The story was fun and the characters made it even better. Excited to read the 2nd book in the series.
