Critics

Audience

At a secret university devoted to magic, a group of young friends learn to cast spells while navigating an unconventional education. They soon discover that a fantasy world from their childhood reading is real—and that its dangers could threaten humanity.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like adult fantasy with magic, humor, danger, and character growth; Not for you if you prefer lighthearted stories or consistent pacing.
