Very nice magical academia read, although there is a lot of emphasis on the suffering of the first year students, and the story isn’t new as such, it’s nice to listen to while doing a cozy hobby, the studio narrate is really good and one doesn’t need to be 100% concentrated on it to follow the story. I did like the character and friendship development and the three factions, as well as the setting reminded me of Hogwarts only with bad teachers who stay two dimensional in the book.
