  • Mysterious necromancers. Wicked summoners. Fierce witches. Occasional familiars. Military experiments. Secret councils. Forbidden alliances. The Academy of Ancients will suck you in.
    Briar Shroud has gone from foster child to full scholarship at the Academy of Ancients. Cool, right?
    Not quite. Her upperclassman mentor Zachary sucks. He's hot, but he sucks at being a mentor. And a friend. And a person.
    Her roommate's a paranormal, and the whole school is underground and a secret.
    Know what else is bad? Briar learns she's a witch. And a rare type of witch, to boot.
    It went from bad to worse-a picture of a sister she's never heard of appears at the school. A sister she knows nothing about.
    And the rules seem hellbent on keeping Briar from learning the truth. And sometimes, it seems other forces would rather not see her alive.
    Warning: This series will hook you! Violence can be found in this series of action-packed fantasy, with necromancers, summoners, and badass witches.

    Well done.
    SFairly slow and realistic adaptation to a sudden change to what is "real" for the characters.
    (I would have expected one of two had freaked out on being told magic is real, is there some kind of special school the less mentally balaced magically gifted people attend/are confined?)
    Understandable mistakes from ameteur slooths.
    Age appropriate levels emotional maturity and personal flaws/hangups.
    Well done.

      Even though reader is very good, some of the 'whinyness' is her interpretation of the character. Im guessing the reader is not a street urchin herself! (Maybe a Stevens prep school graduate.)

    Fun read, but the painfully poor choices by the protagonists are frustrating and boarder on stupid. The first rule of fighting conspiracies is tell as many people as possible. The second rule is send evidence somewhere safe. It's less fun when the reader can see the plot point in advance.

    • @elphbwckd212
      @elphbwckd212 Год назад +9

      That's how you narrate. You pause and add emphasis to show where punctuation is, or bold or italicized letters. It also happens at natural places of pause indicating a new paragraph, a change to dialogue and even pauses within to indicate a change of character speaking. It's actually very good narration. I can see how it's written by how it's being read. It's perfectly well done.
