Initial Review
Wasn't that great. Official review to come.
Page 83: Getting interesting...finally.
I'm usually a big fan of the boarding school for gifted students with super powers. And while I enjoyed the characters, to an extent, this book just didn't wrap it all together as good as I've come to expect from other series that have this sort of theme:
The Summoning
Hex Hall
And while those two are more paranormal I think they are still comparable.
I felt that the story line took too long to get moving that the setting, while interesting, was dragged out a bit too much and more details to what was actually going on needed to be addressed but in a better fashion than it was already being done.
The timing was also arranged weird. Dancia, what a weird name too, was able to go home to her grandmother's for the weekend but that was hardly ever shown. I really liked her grandmother and wanted more interaction between them.
The love triangle was also pretty infuriating.
And the ending pretty much sucked. I was not a fan.
At this time I have no plans of picking up the next book of this series.
