sent to Chebeague, a school for the teens that got magically infected there the
institution tries to teach them how to lead
Review
At
first I thought I would get dizzy and get my facts mixed up when I discovered
there where 3 voices we follow as the story develops, but luckily each author
brought to the table a unique personality with a narration that seemed to be
enough to give each character its own but in a way that let the narration flow
as you change from one character’s point of view into the next’s.
Although I had to admit that in the fast
scenes I would get a little lost for a couple of lines, but luckily the
character’s personality jumped at me and I got my senses back on track.
The
world seemed to remind me at first of Laura Powell’s Witch Fire, a world where
witches would still be burned if it wasn’t for the government trying to “protect”
them. I was glad to see this story only resemblance is that they are both about
witches. This world more like Professor Xavier’s Academy gone wrong.
I loved
how I got lost in this story, I suspect a great part is that I saw parts of
people that I love in the main characters that made me get sucked into the
story. Don’t get me wrong that doesn’t mean that I didn’t got mad at them or
frustrated but they made the story more believable and made my brain and
imagination want to cooperate even further at bringing this story to life.
I do
recommend that if you are in the market for a story filled with more than two
P.O.V.’s, magic, mystery and three authors injecting life into a book you give
this one a chance.
