I recently finished this book with one of my book groups at George E. Jack and we all loved it! We agreed that this book about a magic school has many similarities to the Harry Potter series and highly recommend it to fans of Harry Potter! It is full of magic, action, and battles between good and evil. Our book group is looking forward to reading the next book in this exciting series!
