I really liked the story and the main characters. Logan could have come across as a Marty Stu, but instead he is interesting and inspiring. The others in the Terrible Twelfth had their own personality and developed as people. 

The major issue was the antagonists.  There was nothing at all likeable about them and they feel like they were thrown in just to have an opposing party.

It was not what I expected going into it from the blurb. It was very much a Harry Potter type school with four houses competing for the house cup each year. 

This school is definitely more deadly. But somehow everyone around our MC is fine even though they are considered the worst. 

I was intrigued enough to push through and I thought the dungeon crawl at the end was the best part of the book. It was very creative and so interesting. 

I’ll continue to the next book since I know what I am getting into.
