I’m curious how this series will continue to expand and hope to read the next book soon.The book is set in an academy in a new world called Medora (Earths’ shadow).
I actually got to see Alex’s entire school year which was fun too. I liked the way the way the plot moved through classes, friend moments, action, and more. There was a nice build up of the villain and his background, the larger world surrounding Medora and about how the magic system worked. It added an amazing version of a found family trope that I was so here for.įor the plot, I found this to give me enough information without over loading it. I liked that she had a friend group that were just her friends. I really loved Alex’s friends Jordan and Bear. I thought the classes were interesting and I liked the teachers too. We all know that I don’t love HP, so I’m usually hesitant of fantasy/magic school based books. I’ve decided that I did enjoy this overall. The main character, Alex, is 16 (turning 17 during the book), but her group of friends and interactions in general throughout the whole book just led me to think that this was for a younger audience. The biggest reason this was different than I thought was that it leaned more towards the younger YA side than the older. I kind of like when this happens because it makes everything more of a mystery. I went into this book mostly blind because it had been a few months since I added it to my TBR because of someone’s review I had seen. Will Alex risk her entire world-and maybe even her life-to save Medora? Only she can save the Medorans, but what if doing so prevents her from ever returning home? She soon starts to enjoy her bizarre new world and the friends who embrace her as one of their own, but strange things are happening at Akarnae, and Alex can’t ignore her fear that something unexpected… something sinister… is looming.Īn unwilling pawn in a deadly game, Alex’s shoulders bear the crushing weight of an entire race’s survival. While waiting for him to reappear, Alex attends Akarnae Academy, Medora’s boarding school for teenagers with extraordinary gifts. Desperate to return home, she learns that only a man named Professor Marselle can help her… but he’s missing. With just one step, sixteen-year-old Alexandra Jennings’s world changes-literally.ĭreading her first day at a new school, Alex is stunned when she walks through a doorway and finds herself stranded in Medora, a fantasy world full of impossibilities.
