It was a perfect start! It's got perfect magic school vibes. Definitely similar to Harry Potter, but I love that it brings in the rich, cultural history of New Orleans. this seems like it will be a fantastic read. I can absolutely see this appealing to Harry Potter fans, and middle grade readers who love fantasy, magic, and magical creatures. I can't wait to read it, and I can't wait to recommend it to the middle grade readers in my life. I am absolutely excited to learn more about this magic school and how the drama will unfold!
