I appreciated that Allsop added many details and aspects to make the reading experience immersive and fun. Peter is able to make friends fast which eases his feelings of not belonging and it helps him to adjust better. I felt that the novel is action-packed and entertaining to have a school full of otherworldly creatures. It’s a concept that is very interesting and very well executed from the beginning.
