Goodreads beskrivning
Fourteen-year-old
Brystal Evergreen has always known she was destined for great
things--that is, if she can survive the oppressive Southern Kingdom. Her
only escape are books, but since it's illegal for women to read in her
country, she has to find creative ways of acquiring them. Working as a
maid at her local library gives her the perfect excuse to be near them
and allows her to sneak a few titles home when no one is looking. But
one day Brystal uncovers a secret section of the library and finds a
book about magic that changes her life forever.
Magic is despised and outlawed throughout the world--Brystal is well aware of the severe consequences the book may bring--but her curiosity gets the best of her. By reading some of the text aloud, strange phenomena begin to occur and Brystal discovers she is capable of magic! And the more she practices it, the harder it becomes to hide.
After being caught and convicted, Brystal is saved by a mysterious woman named Madame Weatherberry. The woman takes Brystal to her Academy of Magic and teaches her to become a fairy. While Brystal studies magic and befriends the other students, Madame Weatherberry is suddenly called away on suspicious matters. When she doesn't return, Brystal and her friends work together to find and save their instructor. Along the way, the students discover Madame Weatherberry's true intentions for the academy are not what they seem, and they come face to face with a sinister plot that puts the fate of the world, and the fate of magic itself, in grave danger...

Mina åsikter
Den här serien är faktiskt en prequel till Colfers andra serie The Land of stories. Så självklart var jag tvungen att läsa den här boken! Och jag kan meddela att jag inte alls ångrade mig! Jag älskade nämligen karaktärerna och bokens magisystem. Sen så kan man ju definitivt inte klaga på det faktum att stora delen av boken utspelar sig på en magiskolan. Det finns såväl häxor som féer i den här serien, vilket jag älskade såklart. Jag gillar såklart också alltid när författaren väljer att skriva om en karaktär som älskar att läsa och vars rum på magiskolan förvandlas till ett svinstort bibliotek när hon flyttar in. I det stora hela så var den här boken beroendeframkallande och väldigt snabbläst. Vissa saker var lite lätta att förutse medans andra var mycket svårare. Jag blev helt ärligt lite besviken över bokens slut, men to each their own!
