I was actually first introduced to this book through "bookfails" community where somebody said they didn't like it. The main character, Rose, is normally the kind of character I would get annoyed with and drive me away from the book: impulsive, reckless, and callous. The writing was good though, so I stuck with it. Soon, I saw the motivation that drove her, and I was able to sympathize with her. I mean, having been bullied in the past in the same way Rose is in the book, I can't say that I didn't want to punch somebody in the face right out.
The social relationships within the school, how the staff acts, as well as the relationships between characters are believable to me. I think that's one of the best parts of this book. I, also, enjoyed the system of magic that Mead created for the series; although, we only get a brief glimpse here.
