Summary

Caitlyn Aguirre should have been a magician. Her family certainly expected her to be a magician. But by the time she reached her 12th birthday, Caitlyn hadn't even managed to cast a single spell! In desperation, her parents send her - and her magical sisters - to Jude's Sorcerous Academy, her last best chance to discover her powers.

But as she struggles to survive her classes without a single spell to her name, Caitlyn starts to uncover an ancient mystery that may prove the key to her true powers.... If she lives long enough to find it.

Gripping yet annoying

An enjoyable story that keeps you interested throughout. It is let down however by the constantly repeated statement that the lead character cannot do magic. I noticed a few holes in the plot line that l kept waiting to be filled but weren't (though maybe they will be in later books) and some glaring points that were never addressed.
Despite these problems, the narration was strong enough to keep me interested and I will be moving on to the second book to see how the story progresses.

Excellent magical workd focused on school

Really enjoyed this as an adult, plenty of interesting rivalry and different approach to magical talents. I recommend it & couldn't put it down for the second half of the book.
I've just purchased book 2

Loved it!

I've been looking for a story in the same area as Harry Potter and this is it. It's brilliant. Saskia gives a superb performance and the story is so well thought out. Just bought book two.

excellent narrator, interesting series

interesting book and series, follows some basic tropes, child at magic school discovers etc.

narrator is really good and makes the book and audio quality is good.

I could be wrong but doesn't the main character have dark skin? why is the cover art showing a girl with light skin?

Definitely a young teen book

Best suited to 10-13 girl. The story lacked any edge but probably has enough school type drama to keep young girls entertained.
