I absolutely love PNR worlds, and what Kotah has created is no different. I love the FMC, she's got fire and sass, and the world is so cool. The FMC knows about the magical world, well everyone does, since they revealed themselves years prior. So the FMC knows about the magic world but doesn't think she's a part of it. But... is it possible that she is? And if she is, what does that mean for her future? 

When she's told a whammy of a truth, she also learns that she's going to be attending an academy. We meet a few different guys when she is introduced to their side of the world, and htey're all different magical species. Idk about you, but when there's different species to one FMC, it makes it that more interesting. It's interesting to see how they all come together, and how their different personalities will mesh. 

The FMC is resilient and even though she goes through emotions when certain things arise, she knows that she must push on. We also have a fun friendship in the making, and I can't wait to see what happens next. Also, we start seeing the start of possibly mate bonds, just gotta read and see who it turns out to be. 

Can't wait for book two!
