Though set it a wildly creative fictional world that Naomi created out of a handful of words that make up the original lore of the Scholomance, through the story she ultimately says some profound things about the nature of humanity and how our society is structured today. At its heart this story is about a lead character who feels isolated from a world that expects the very worst from her, yet she is slowly able to cobble together a community built on the foundation of a few hard earned friendships for the benefit of everyone at the school, bringing decency and genuine kindness to a place where these qualities are in short supply.(less)
