I have mixed feelings about this one. It was an easy read and had I been the target audience then it would have been a lot more enjoyable, although there were some aspects that felt out of place for book for young teens. There were threads of good ideas, but after a slow start it felt far too rushed especially towards the end of the book, and there was so much crammed into the end that it was a bit too much. The similarities with a certain teenage wizard, also can't be missed, and while this had an interesting spin on it with science and seers, it would have been stronger leaning away from that similarity. I loved the idea of the school though, and would have liked to see that developed further.
