I devoured this whole series so fast, it’s not even funny.
There’s something really special about wanting a book to be good and then getting into it and finding out that it IS good. While being totally different from my story, this series has a lot of the same world building aspects that my series will have and a lot of them are done well.
The things that aren’t done as well as I could hope for I now have a reference point for what to look for in my own work and that’s the whole point of the Story Study Saturday video series.

Honestly this book sounds really bad 😭

It certainly takes a LOT to get into. The reason I was drawn to it was because I like the idea of a school in a world with magic systems. And a lot of the summaries out there don't point out the whole Main-Character-is-the-fantasy-version-of-a-white-supremacist-at-the-beginning... So I definitely felt like that was an important thing to point out. I certainly have no intention of mimicking the parts of this story that are hugely off putting but those are still inspiring in a way to make sure that I'm NOT doing those things in my own book.
