I received this ARC through Book Review 22 for a honest review.
"Artifice Academy-Acent" By Jonathan Small
Reminiscent of Divergent meets Mad Max, this story revolves around the protagonist Inga. A young girl whose gender is hidden so she could attend
the all boys Artifice Academy. The reader is automatically engaged in Inga's determination and her struggles with her head master Grattus and the other youth of the academy.
A futuristic steampunk background, this book is engaging. It needs more character and background development.
I give it 3 stars.

Just bad
I read this book in one one night. That was a good thing. It was the perfect length for a bed time story to myself. But I did not like this book. There were so many ideas bouncing around that the story had to many points. It was confusing and had typos. Glad it was a free book
