About this listen

Days away from completing her first year at Miss Castwell’s Institute for the Magical Instruction of Young Ladies, Changeling-born Sarah Smith might just get away with posing as an upper-class Guardian girl named Cassandra Reed.

But strange visions of a Lightbourne destroyed by Miss Morton’s revenant army keep Sarah from enjoying her achievement. Plus, the Mother Book, Sarah’s one secret advantage and the ultimate entrée in Guardian society, suddenly stops revealing itself to her...putting her in a precarious position with the Guild. On top of all that, her former lady’s maid left Miss Castwell’s, and the new hire is, well, taking some getting used to.

If it weren’t for her two best friends, Alicia McCray and Ivy Cowel, who will do anything to protect her secret, Sarah doesn’t know if she’ll make it another year. When the three girls take summer holiday with Alicia’s family (chaperoned by an exacting and very disapproving Mrs. McCray), a relaxing vacation in Scotland is the last thing they’ll find.

Mrs. Winter is thrilled that Sarah is spending time with the influential McCray family, but Sarah can’t help but feel that her real purpose is to find other Changeling children like her, and free them to realize their own magic. Can she find genuine satisfaction in her accomplishments when she knows there are others like her out there who need her help? Will the three girls uncover the deeply-held secrets they’re looking for in the mysterious mountains of Scotland? Will the Mother Book finally start talking to her again? And will Sarah come to understand the importance of her connection with Ivy and Alicia, and the true nature of her own power...before it’s too late?

disappointing sequel

This is a light YA series, the first one had a well developed sense of time and place. This sequel was disappointing, felt rushed, the story did not work as well as the first novel and our protagonist was often making poor choices to make the story move along. She definitely had more brain cells in the first book.

Truly enjoyable story

I really have enjoyed this female version of Harry Potter! I won't argue differently, this is a story line that heavily borrows from J.K Rowling's series, particularly in the world building, although Harper's world feels closer to the 19th century. It's definitely more practical to use mirrors to communicate than to use owls... less messy for sure. I can't wait to have more of the story to see where the next episode will take the main characters.

A Teenage apocalypse

A teenager's work is never done, especially in a finishing school for young magicians.

In this case, not only is there a threat from government authorities, but a government conspiracy to turn children into weapons. Naturally, adults cannot be trusted to handle this, so it falls to school friends to save the day.

Or do they?
